We’re excited to welcome a few new members to our Board of Directors!
First, a familiar face returns! Chris Mitchell, Vice President of Legal, EHS, and Compliance at George's, Inc, is a longtime supporter of CASA – serving previously as a Board member and Board President. When Chris’s last term ended, we knew he wouldn’t be gone for long. Chris continued to support CASA of NWA and when a seat on the board opened, he just couldn’t resist the opportunity to join us again. Chris’s passion for our CASA kids, volunteers, and staff is contagious. We are so excited for him to be back in action.
Second, a well-rounded veteran signs on! Audrey Laughlin, a CPA and Assurance Director at PwC, began her journey with CASA in 2010 as an intern. In 2017, following completion of her internship, Audrey joined us as a CASA volunteer and has supported 14 children during her time. She has also served faithfully as a Table Captain, helped secure corporate sponsorships on the Light of Hope committee, and even brought a team of coworkers together to teach time management skills at an older youth Independent Life Skills class. Audrey’s commitment to CASA of NWA is unmatched – we’re looking forward to seeing her shine in her role as a member of the board!
And finally, a new name joins the ranks! Chris Moore, an Account Manager with Google Cloud, first connected with CASA’s mission in 2023 when he attended our Light of Hope luncheon. The following year, Chris became a Light of Hope Table Captain and brought Google Cloud as a Light of Hope sponsor. Since then, Chris has attended various CASA events, always with a warm, friendly smile, and we’ve enjoyed getting to know him more. With his professional experience and care for our CASA kids, Chris brings a lot to the table!
Please help us welcome Chris, Audrey, and Chris!
