Shamecca Bryant has stepped down from her position as executive director for the Orange County Rape Crisis Center, the organization announced Monday evening.
Bryant joined the center in 2007 as the development director and has served as executive director for the last five years.
“The Center is truly a special place,” Bryant said in a release. “Working on behalf of survivors has been so rewarding. The support and healing that happens within and beyond our walls is bigger than all of us.”
Bryant also serves as vice chair of the North Carolina Coalition Against Sexual Assault Board of Directors.
“On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to recognize Shamecca’s significant leadership over the years,” said Hathaway Pendergrass, president of the Orange County Rape Crisis Center Board of Directors. “The Center is well positioned for continued success thanks to her leadership and guidance.”
Alyson Culin will serve as the interim executive director of the agency while the board searches for a permanent successor, according to a release. Culin has served as the center’s development and communications director since 2010.
The position is listed on the organization’s website and applications are due by January 8, 2016.
Bryant’s resignation was effective December 21.
