Human Rights Commission Chairman Fred Cook said they want to bring “a message of inclusion, peace and tolerance” to all residents of the county.
A naturalized US citizen originally from the Dominican Republic, Esposito was involved in recruiting, training and providing direct supervision to eight victim advocates, volunteers and interns at Safe Homes. She was part of the design, coordination and facilitation of all aspects of staff, volunteer and intern training programs about intimate partner violence, oppression and human trafficking.
