Please join your peers for information and resources on how you can best advocate for the children you serve at school. \n\n\n\nThe STAR Monthly Zoom Series is for volunteer supervisors and CASA staff that work directly with volunteers. The monthly Zoom meetings will be held on the last Monday of the month unless otherwise announced in Inside CASA or on the STAR listserv. \n\n\n\n\nREgister here URL:https://texascasa.org/event/star-monthly-zoom-8/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://texascasa.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/iStock-1191849990.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="STAR Team":MAILTO:lbriggs@texascasa.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20250930T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20250930T170000 DTSTAMP:20251007T071343 CREATED:20250815T210242Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250819T153244Z UID:10000350-1759219200-1759251600@texascasa.org SUMMARY:Texas CASA Post-Session & Leadership Tour of Texas Training Series DESCRIPTION:This September and October\, Texas CASA’s Leadership and the Public Policy Teams will be traveling across the state to provide Post-Session Trainings\, general updates and to facilitate conversations about the future of CASA in Texas.
