π Project R.E.S.T. is entering a new chapter of leadership. After three impactful years, President & CEO Krystal Watson, Esq. steps down effective September 4, 2026, leaving the organization stronger and more survivor-focused than ever, including launching SC's first Legal Advocacy Services Program in 2024 and earning 2026 Champion of the Year honors from HER Champions.
