This month’s board member spotlight is ERICA HUGHES. Even though Erica has been with us only a short amount of time, she has jumped in with both feet, broken the surface and hasn’t looked back yet. She is a true champion for CASA. Even before Erica was voted onto the board she stepped up to help with decorating for the CASA Volunteer Banquet. She helped with our annual golf tournament, she decorated for National Adoption Day and even had time to make sandwiches. She pitched a proposal to her fellow Employees at Sysco Foods to help sponsor CASA. Sysco not only collected Christmas toys for our CASA kids and other foster children, but after January they are going to collect spare change from employees until June when they
will spend that spare change to buy needed school supplies for our annual school supply drive. Erica has brought a lot of energy and knowledge to our board. She has two daughters that she raises and is active in their school and their PTA’s. Erica has a unique bond with CASA because of her childhood and truly knows why we advocate for these children. She lives what she preaches and preaches CASA to everyone she comes in contact with. We are happy to have her as a part of Pulaski County CASA and I know we all look forward to working with her for years to come.
