Standing Together to End Sexual Assault Executive Director Elsa Granados
Paul Wellman

Elsa Granados has such a warm laugh that she’d make Santa Claus envious. Within minutes of spending time with her, you feel cozy and relaxed. Speaking with her is the equivalent of drinking a cup of hot chocolate while sitting by the fire.

“I have no regrets,” she says, punctuated by her signature laugh. “It’s a good journey.”

This coming February, Elsa will celebrate her 22nd year as the executive director of the nonprofit formerly known as the Santa Barbara Rape Crisis Center. It was recently rebranded under the name Standing Together to End Sexual Assault.
