Juli Dellorso has been named the Executive Director of NRV CARES by the organization’s Board of

Directors. Juli officially assumed this new role on March 06, 2017. “Juli is a good fit for our exceptional

team at NRV CARES. She is a go-getter with experience in non-profit networking and development.

She brings a new dimension to our team, and I speak for the board when I say we are excited to see NRV

CARES benefit from her energy and passion for our mission.” says Deb Syndor, NRV CARES Board

Chair.

Mrs. Dellorso’s background uniquely positions her to assume this post, as NRV CARES’ seventh

Executive Director. With significant experience in non-profit development management, fundraising,

community development, and public relations, Dellorso will advance the organization’s current strategic

plan and guide NRV CARES future endeavors into community action to protect children from abuse and

strengthen families. Dellorso shared, “I am so honored and humbled to serve families and the children of

the NRV. Together with a professional, talented staff, I will strive every day to be an advocate and

champion for the most vulnerable members of our community. Through collaboration with our partners,

volunteers, and friends and neighbors, we will work to build up our children and promote happy, healthy

families in the NRV and surrounding areas. I believe deeply in the power of connection, conversation

and collaboration. Child abuse and neglect is an issue I feel very strongly about and it is our responsibility

to ourselves, our children, and families to work to prevent it.” Dellorso has a Bachelor’s in Social Change

and Community Development from Hollins University, and an Associate’s in Human Services from

Virginia Western Community College, both in Roanoke, VA. For the past decade, Dellorso has served her

our stakeholders, donors, volunteers, and various community members at the annual NRV CARES Gala

held on March 4th 2017 at the Inn at Virginia Tech.
