My two years serving as Vice Chair for Children’s Advocacy Centers of Pennsylvania were rewarding and inspiring. The Chapter performs essential yet challenging duties on behalf of the children of Pennsylvania. The vision is to inspire hope and end abuse. It is a gargantuan effort that desperately needs more awareness and investment. I cannot imagine a more noble cause, and I intend to remain a friend of PennCAC long into the future.
