MEET OUR NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR!
The Abbie Shelter is excited to introduce our new Executive Director, Kristen Schepker. Kristen first joined the organization's staff team in the Summer of 2023 as our Operations Director. In addition to her work with the Abbie over the past year, she also brings to the Executive Director role her many years of past experience working with programs serving unhoused youth and families, primarily in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Kristen is thrilled to embark on this next chapter of her journey with the Abbie. She looks forward to continuing to serve and advocate for survivors of domestic and sexual violence both within the Flathead Valley and beyond.
