Brooke Gill – Executive Director

Brooke Gill is a nonprofit leader with more than 15 years experience building and leading statewide and national programs that strengthen families, support youth and build stronger communities. Her experience includes residential treatment, transitional youth and independent living services, early childhood development, public health, mental and behavioral health and family support.

Throughout her career, Brooke has focused on developing programs and partnerships that support children, youth and families through whole-community and protective factors frameworks. She has led initiatives that bring together families, service providers, educators, community organizations and other partners to build stronger systems of support and create opportunities for individuals and families to thrive.

Brooke holds a Bachelor’s degree from Murray State University and a Master’s in Public Administration from Northern Kentucky University.

Brooke lives in Lexington, Kentucky, with her husband, Jason, their two sons and their two mini dachshunds. Outside of work, Brooke can usually be found at one of her kids’ sporting events or doing anything that falls into the “old lady hobby” category: needlepoint, puzzles, reading, walks and, most recently, Mah Jongg!

“What excites me most about stepping into this role is getting to know the incredible women Refuge for Women Kentucky serves and hearing their stories of hope and new beginnings. I’m grateful for the opportunity to serve and support this incredible staff, build on the strong community of Refuge for Women Kentucky partners and help expand our reach so more women can experience the life God intended for them, a life of joy and freedom.”
