The Virginia CIT Coalition is proud to congratulate our Board Member, Retired Captain Kelly L. Walker, for being named the Michael Woody/Michele Saunders CIT Coordinator of the Year by CIT International.
Through his vision, dedication, and collaborative leadership, Kelly has transformed crisis response in Virginia by expanding regional CIT programs, launching a 24/7 therapeutic assessment site, reducing emergency department use, and helping standardize Virginia’s CIT curriculum. His advocacy for best practices, inclusive training, and innovative crisis care has set a statewide standard and serves as an inspiration to other Virginia communities.
Congratulations, Kelly, on this well-deserved honor!
