ABILENE, Texas (KTAB/KRBC) – Our guest on this episode of Abilene People is Lee Ann Millender, Executive Director of Big Country CASA.
Originally from the small East Texas community of Opelika, Lee Ann has spent her career advocating for children, first with Child Protective Services and later with CASA. Just over five years ago, she was recruited to lead Big Country CASA here in Abilene.
CASA, which stands for Court Appointed Special Advocates, serves children in foster care by giving them a voice in the legal system. While CPS represents the state, parents have their own attorneys, and children have lawyers to
