Inza Hagins-Dyer has been named the new executive director of the local non-profit Love’s Arm. Having served on the organization’s board of directors over the past two years, Ms. Hagins-Dyer is well-versed in the day-to-day operations of Love’s Arm and brings knowledge and experience in program management and leadership to the position.
Mimi Nikkel, founder and outgoing executive director, will move into a new, strategic role where she can focus primarily on her strengths which include IT, public speaking, community outreach, and development.
"We are delighted to announce Inza Hagins-Dyer as our new executive director,” said Ms. Nikkels. “Inza has already served Love’s Arm for several years, and we are excited about the changes that are coming under her leadership.
“In the midst of a pandemic, we benefited from unwavering support of faithful and generous donors. As a result, we are positioned to focus on changes that will allow us to empower more women survivors of sex trafficking, prostitution and addiction.”
Ms. Hagins-Dyer is ready and eager to begin serving, as the next few months are already filled with some important events. “We are so grateful for our supporters and donors, and we look forward to all God has in store for us and the women we serve,” she said. “As we prepare for a special book launch in October and our annual fundraising event in November, we have a lot in store for this amazing organization.”
Love’s Arm was founded in 2005 with a mission to engage, empower, and transition women survivors of trafficking, prostitution and addiction toward a Christ-centered community of grace. Currently, the non-profit offers street and strip club outreach programs in Hamilton County, Chattanooga, and North Georgia; Rahab’s Rest, a cost-free holistic recovery home for women survivors; and numerous advocacy initiatives.
