Ann Lederer from CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) will speak about how the community can stand up for abused and neglected children.  This is an opportunity to learn what this program offers to families and the need for volunteers.  As a longtime CASA volunteer, Mayor Arline LaMear will introduce Ms. Lederer.

CASA trains community volunteers to stand up for abused and neglected children.  Their advocacy helps ensure that these children have the best possible chance for a safer, more secure home life.  Ann Lederer, was the Executive Director of CASA from 2010-2016.  She is now serving as the Program Manager.  Her responsibilities include resource development and maintenance, organizational and program planning, community and public relations, personnel management, fiscal management, volunteer recruitment, training and support, and court representation.
