Annual ConferenceConference logo

The National CASA Annual Conference provides a unique opportunity to join leading consultants, legal and social service professionals as well as representatives from the entire CASA/GAL network. Through education, training and networking opportunities, attendees discover new ideas and solutions to fortify us as we carry out our service to abused and neglected children.

Who should come to National CASA's multi-disciplinary conference? As one CASA volunteer recently said of people she has encountered in her work, "People who believe that kids count."

The 2010 National CASA Conference will be held April 16-19, 2010, in Atlanta, GA.
