The 2023 Forum for Executive Directors and Program Directors will be at the Embassy Suites by Hilton San Antonio Landmark on March 29-30, 2023.
During this year’s Forum, CASA programs and key child welfare partners across the state will discuss how our work aligns and plan how we can best work together to improve outcomes for children and their families involved in the child welfare system.
The objectives are to:
- Highlight initiatives around the state that are focused on permanency, particularly reunification
- Develop action steps for the partnership of our organizations and future service related communication
- Understand current trends in child welfare and CASA
- Manage change for CASA Staff and Volunteers
This is a roundtable, and we envision an open space for conversation and discussion, and ask that you come prepared to provide input so that we can develop meaningful action items and next steps.
