ILLINOIS CASA STATE CONFERENCE 

    The annual Illinois CASA State Conference is a unique one day event for CASA advocates,          staff, board members, and social service providers statewide. Last year over 100 conference participants enjoyed training workshops on a variety of topics related to child advocacy.           We expect even more participants this year as well as all new training opportunities.

   This year’s conference will be held at the I Hotel and Conference Center in Champaign, IL on March 16th 2012. The conference speakers and workshops will focus on building better advocacy for the children we serve as well as identifying their needs. We are excited about the diverse workshops which will provide valuable information and networking opportunities. Keynote speaker, Holly Schlaack, author of “Invisible Kids” will present the opening session. We hope to see you there!
