Leadership

The leadership at SEG is spearheaded by Kayla Hicks, a black woman with over three decades of experience in the field. Under Kayla's leadership, SEG's projects and initiatives aim to empower and uplift women and girls in historically underserved and marginalized urban and rural, communities by addressing the systemic challenges they face in areas such as violence, mental healthcare, healthcare, education, career development, and wraparound services.

​We have in our network National Violence Prevention and Intervention Advisory Council, a diverse collective of scholars, professionals, and practitioners who bolster the work of SEG through mentorship, evidence-based research, and recommendations. Our council members come from a wide range of fields such as public safety, public health, psychology, sociology, criminology, education, economics, law enforcement, legal, and media and more. They are dedicated to the success of SEG’s mission and goals.
