Frank West of CASA of Grant County will receive the award during the association’s 30th annual national conference in Chicago.

West was chosen because of his thorough work as a CASA volunteer and the significant positive impact he’s made on children’s lives. West is also an active member of the county’s CASA fundraising committee and often speaks for CASA at community events. He also volunteers at the Indiana Fostering Futures pilot program.
The award is named after the Seattle judge who first thought of using trained community volunteers to speak for the best interests of these children in court.
