Women's Center gets new director

An organization that serves women and children who are victims of domestic abuse is getting a new Executive Director.

Kris Lyons, of Seekonk, is moving up from Associate Director, a position she’s held since 2005, to be the Executive Director of the Women’s Center of Rhode Island.

Lyons is a licensed clinical social worker who worked for the Massachusetts Department of Public Health for more than 12 years, most recently as the program director for its Domestic Violence Screening, Care, Referral and Information program.

“I am excited about stepping up to this new role,” Lyons said in a statement. “I believe our staff and the work we’ve done at the Center during the last few years will provide the foundation that will continue to provide safety for women and children to help them rebuild their lives.”

Lyons replaces Kyle Macdonald.
