Victim Advocate Receives Statewide Award During the recent Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council of Georgia’s annual Victim Witness Assistance Program (VWAP) conference, Kayla Cleveland was named the 2022 VWAP Director of the Year. Cleveland is director of the Victim/Witness Unit for the Office of the Cherokee County Solicitor-General. She joined the office in April 2014, as the sole victim advocate. In less than five years, she was promoted to director, and grew the Victim/Witness Unit to add three more advocates. “Nowhere in the entire state will you find an advocate who devotes herself to the service of victims’ rights and needs more completely. Without hesitation, she tirelessly goes the extra mile to see that their voices are heard, and that they are not left out of the process, as the wheels of justice turn around them,” said Solicitor-General Todd Hayes during the awards presentation.
