On today’s episode of The Middle Ground, we welcomed Liz Ortenburger, the dynamic CEO of SafeNest—Nevada’s largest nonprofit committed to ending domestic and sexual violence. Liz shared her powerful story of transformation, from surviving cancer to becoming a leading voice for justice and systemic change in Southern Nevada. Under her leadership, SafeNest has shifted from a crisis-response model to a proactive movement focused on prevention, education, and community empowerment. Recently honored as one of Southern Nevada’s Remarkable Women by KLAS-TV, Liz’s message of resilience, empathy, and leadership left a lasting impact.
