Barbara Blaine, the founder and president of SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, has stepped down from the organization effective February 3, 2017. We are grateful for her 29 years of leadership. Her contribution to the survivors movement is unsurpassed. Her tenacity and fortitude helped expose abuse globally during the past three decades. We will carry on her vision of SNAP as we grow in new ways to better meet the needs of survivors coming forward today and in the future. We wish Barbara the best.

Barbara Dorris, SNAP’s Outreach Director, has become the Managing Director. In this new position, Barbara will work closely with the SNAP board of directors to continue to engage our volunteer leadership nationwide to help more survivors of sexual abuse and assault, and to stop the cycle of abuse and the cover up, no matter where the abuse occurred.
