National CASA\/GAL\u2019s decision to cancel the 2020 Annual Conference<\/h2>\n\t\t

The National CASA\/GAL Association for Children\u2019s chief executive officer and the National Board of Trustees have made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 Annual Conference. The decision was made after carefully evaluating all of the available guidelines about novel coronavirus (COVID-19) from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC<\/a>) and the World Health Organization (WHO<\/a>), and input from members of our nationwide network of programs.<\/p>\n

Our next conference will be our 40th anniversary conference, scheduled for June 2022 in Seattle. We look forward to seeing all of you there!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
