About the Conference

The National CASA Conference provides an annual 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 material presented can immediately help me and my local CASA program and the children we serve!” ~Conference attendee
