Board of Directors

I am on the C.A.S.E. Board of Directors because all adopted and foster children deserve to benefit from the 25 years of wisdom and expertise this organization has brought to mental health practitioners and researchers.

I am on the C.A.S.E. Board of Directors because my life has been changed through being the father to an adopted son. I choose to dedicate my time and effort in promoting the miracle of adoption and its transformational effect. I share my skills and use my abilities to benefit those who walk this path so that they may find the support they need for their families and their children. C.A.S.E. has inspired me to be more, do more and care more. I will encourage and advocate for my business contacts, network, friends and family to do more and spread the word about this organization and its staff.

I am on the C.A.S.E. Board of Directors because I know from direct experience how important adoption-competent counseling is to adopted children. My husband and I have two wonderful children whom we adopted at birth through open adoption.  We understand that adopted children confront deep challenges as they grow and come to confront and understand their background and identities.  And no organization does a better job at counseling adopted children and building capacity for adoption-competent counselors than C.A.S.E.

I am on the C.A.S.E. Board because C.A.S.E. is doing work that no one else in the world is doing. Their services for adopted and foster children and their families, as well as their trainings for professionals in the field are best in class.  I am so very proud to be part of this incredible organization.

I am on the C.A.S.E. Board of Directors because this organization recognizes the unique challenges that foster/adopted children face, addresses them and works every day to improve their and their families’ lives. Making a difference one unique child at a time.

I am on the C.A.S.E. Board of Directors because I am an adoptee. I know foster and adopted children and their families will be stronger and happier with early access to adoption competent mental health care, and especially can avoid so much early adolescent angst when identities are being formed.

I am on the C.A.S.E Board because there is no better organization supporting resiliency and wellbeing for children and families experiencing foster care and adoptions.
