Congratulations to DASO on their 4 year Accreditation! Rhonda Hendel, Executive Director of DASO was cited as a strength by many stakeholders within and external to the organization. DASO staff are representatives at a variety of community tables and are said to be a “cornerstone of initial response” when there is violence against women in their community. DASO’s strategic planning process was comprehensive and inclusive and has resulted in detailed and formalized goals, involving an extensive number of stakeholders, thus ensuring that women and children are at the forefront of the organization.
