CASA of East Tennessee is pleased to welcome our newest staff members:

After serving in an interim position, Peggy Eighmy became our permanent Court Director in May. She brings a wealth of professional and CASA experience to her role at CASA of East Tennessee. Her office is located in the Knox County Juvenile Court building where she supports our volunteers with their casework and serves as our liaison with the greater Court community.

Summer Colbert is our new Volunteer Coordinator. She previously worked in a similar position at a CASA program in North Georgia and is very eager to help our program grow by recruiting and training more volunteers. She is also responsible for planning inservice opportunities. She will spend most of her time at our administrative offices.

Volunteer Coordinator, Summer Colbert

Executive Director Ann Bowman traveled to Anaheim California to participate in the 2013 National CASA Conference. It was an amazing opportunity to share successes and strategies as well as bring back many good ideas to make our CASA program even stronger as we move forward.

A “Faces of CASA” campaign was launched at conference, illustrating all the different people from across the country that support the mission of serving abused and neglected children through advocacy. The picture below is included on the National CASA website and features many CASA Directors from the state of Tennessee (including Ann – back right).
