On November 5 we will be offering a virtual learning experience for all volunteers, staff, directors and community partners.   Our theme this year is I Am For Every Child with the emphasis on diversity, equity and inclusion. In keeping with our goal of giving every member of the Michigan CASA network the very best tools available to advocate for our children the speakers this year will be extremely dynamic. And relevant!  The cost this year will be $25/pp for CASA volunteers and $50/pp for directors, staff, board members and community stakeholders.  Registration will open on August 5th at www.michigancasa.org Help us spread the word! Thank you!
