CASA Implements New CASA Connects Newsletter

Starting this month, CASA will begin sending out the CASA Connects Newsletter once every two weeks to all members.  The newsletter will continue to include the latest information on program, membership, events, legislative, policy and regulatory issues.   In addition, CASA has revamped the newsletter into a simpler and cleaner format.  The newsletter will provide members with a more reader friendly browsing option through its table of content titled, “In This Issue.”
 
If you have any questions, please contact CASA’s Communications Manager, Shery Vang atSvang@casaweb.org.
