16,721 Kentucky children were involved in court cases of abuse, neglect, and dependency in 2022. CASA volunteers are community members, just like you, who stand up and speak out to help abused and neglected children. This week, I was honored to speak and lead two sessions at the Kentucky CASA Network Annual Conference. I remain inspired by the talent, passion, and commitment of CASA leaders, volunteers, and Board members in Kentucky and across the country.
