Coalition Leadership
CATE leadership is made up of executive leaders from our Collaborative Partnership organizations. Collaborative Partner organizations have made anti-trafficking interventions an organizational priority, strictly adhere to shared values, share responsibility and resources, and are considered equal partners in the leadership of CATE.
Currently, CATE is hosted and administratively supported by Healing Action, a Collaborative Partner Organization.
Coalition Staff
Lauren Masten, MSW
Membership Coordinator
Lauren Masten joined CATE in June 2019. Even though she grew up in a tiny, rural town in Illinois, she’s always been drawn to the humanity and diversity cities hold. She was first inspired to pursue a career in social work after listening to a fierce and passionate woman, who opened a shelter for women and children experiencing domestic violence, speak about her work. Lauren has developed a deep passion to work with and support change in communities so they are inclusive and supportive of all people, especially those who are most marginalized in their community. This led her to move to St. Louis in 2017 to pursue her Master of Social Work from Saint Louis University with a focus on nonprofit administration and community practice. Lauren joined the CATE team in hopes to work for effective system level, community change to end trafficking and exploitation.
