The Texas Council on Family Violence (TCFV) welcomes Melissa G. Rodriguez, Chief Executive Officer of the Hays-Caldwell Women’s Center (HCWC), to its board of directors. With more than 22 years of experience in victim services and a strong commitment to empowering survivors, Rodriguez joins as Region 5 Area Director, contributing her leadership and expertise to advance efforts in creating safer communities across Texas.
