Our Advisory Board, The Friends of Clayton County CASA (FCCC), was established in 1998 to help support the local CASA program with fundraising, volunteer recruitment, and public awareness efforts. Now a 16 seat board, the "Friends" is comprised of passionate, dedicated citizens within our community and surrounding areas.

Debbie and her husband have two daughters, Patricia and Carlie, and three grandchildren that keep them young and quite busy. She welcomed the opportunity CASA presented in 2005 to be a volunteer with the ABCs and is so thankful to be able to spend time with children in foster and relative care. Debbie now sits as the active Chair of the Ambassadors Behind CASA, and works tirelessly to plan and execute events for the children.  The ABCs are a small but growing group, and Debbie is sure that with the help of so many others, it will get better each and every year.
