Theory to Table: A One-Day Service Reimagination Workshop for DV/SV Leaders 
Join us on June 25
Hosted by Tiffany Mensah · Presented in partnership with D.O.V.E.S. Network®

Theory to Table is a one-day working session, not a conference, for Domestic Violence and Sexual Violence executive directors, shelter managers, program directors, case supervisors, housing navigators, and field leaders who have diagnosed and observed the changes happening in the field and need think space to redesign around it. A structured space for you and your team just to THINK and PLAN for the future of your organization with peers in the room to cross-collaborate and co-solve together.

This is not a lecture or a how-to session. There is no keynote. It is a whiteboarding, peer problem-solving day where leaders map their service models, identify opportunities, and build toward solutions you can actually implement when you get back to your organization.

WHAT'S INCLUDED
Full-day facilitated working session · Continental breakfast, midday brain fuel, and lunch · All facilitation materials · Self-selected peer table group in your focus area.

WHY YOU NEED TO BE IN THIS ROOM
The field has more knowledge than ever before. What it does not have is a structured space to convert that knowledge into practice. You are making decisions about intake, exit planning, staffing, data, and funding, often alone, often in reactive mode with no peers in the room who are seeing the same picture.

This day changes that. You will leave with a plan of where your service design is breaking down, at least one reimagined plan you can act on, and real relationships with leaders who are carrying the same weight. Not just a notebook full of notes. Not another certificate. Something you can actually use on Monday.

WHO THIS IS FOR
This day is for the people running DV/SV organizations and programs.
- Those who know exactly where the model breaks down because they see it every shift.
- Those who are managing advocates, managing caseloads, and managing the gap between what the policy says and what people actually need.
- Those who are trying to stop harm before it starts, but see that they have fewer resources every year.
- Those who are holding the funding together while the ground keeps shifting under them.

If you work in this field and you are tired of talking about the problem, this is your room.

THIS IS NOT FOR YOU IF
You are not willing to put what is actually broken on the whiteboard. You think the solution is more information. If that is where you are right now, that is okay. This day will be here when you are ready.

WHAT YOU WALK AWAY WITH
1. A concrete map of where your service design is breaking down and at least one reimagined path forward; something to act on, not just think about.
2. Real peer relationships with other leaders who are carrying the same weight, built across a full working day.
3. Field intelligence; the qualitative picture of what the sector actually needs right now, generated in the room by the people doing the work.

ABOUT YOUR HOST
Tiffany Mensah is the Founder & Executive Director of D.O.V.E.S. Network®, a Maricopa, Arizona-based nonprofit serving teens and families affected by the trauma of childhood domestic violence. She has spent 6+ years working directly with youth ages 12–24 in schools, campuses, and communities across Arizona and beyond. Tiffany spent nearly two decades inside some of the most operationally demanding organizations in the country: Domino's Pizza, Allstate Insurance, and Rocket Mortgage, before stepping into the domestic and sexual violence field. In her last role at Rocket Mortgage, before fully transitioning to the nonprofit space, she facilitated workshops and managed programs, projects, and team members while identifying $1.5 billion in redundant spend. She managed $2M+ in annual contracts and built systems for C-suite executives.

She did not bring that background to this field because she was looking for a career change. She brought it because she grew up in a home with domestic violence and came to make an impact for the youth experiencing Childhood Domestic Violence. Yet when she stepped into the sector built to serve families like hers, she saw opportunity through relationship building and service immediately.

The field does not have a knowledge problem. It has an application opportunity. As a Certified Trauma Support Specialist who does not operate a shelter, she facilitates Theory to Table without defending a model. She asks the questions that need to be asked, holds the space for honest diagnosis, and moves the room toward solutions, anchored in trauma-informed practice and the systems-thinking she spent two decades building.

Tiffany has delivered keynote presentations and workshops to more than 1,000 professionals across education, healthcare, and social services. From Yale University, School of Medicine, to the National Training & Technical Assistance Center for Child, Youth, and Family Mental Health. She has presented at state-level conferences, published two books on trauma and domestic violence, and received an official proclamation from the Mayor of Maricopa for her community impact.

Theory to Table is built on one belief: knowledge without application is just a library. Let’s Work!
