Karli is a 2007 graduate of Radford University with a Master’s of Social Work. She received her undergraduate degree from Virginia Tech in 2003, a Bachelors of Science in Human Services. She started working with those impacted by violence in 2002, interning at the Women’s Resource Center of the New River Valley.

Board President Treva Adams states, “On behalf of the Board, I am pleased to welcome Karli into her new role within the agency. We appreciate the hard work that she has been doing and look forward to working with her to advance the FRC’s mission.
The agency also recognizes the outgoing Executive Director, Regina Pack Eller, who has held the position for the last eight of her 36-years (and counting) with the agency. She is taking on a new role within the agency where she will focus on building relationships with area allied professionals, strengthening the community’s response to domestic and sexual violence and child abuse and neglect both locally and statewide by working with the Virginia Domestic and Sexual and Action Alliance and funders, and providing supportive counseling services. “It is time for me to focus a little more on family and myself. I have been honored to have been Executive Director for part of my time with the agency. Now I will focus more on areas that are my passion.”
