Celebrating Clare’s Commitment to CASA

After more than seven years of faithful service to CASA of Kent County, our beloved administrative manager, Clare Parks, has retired. Please join us in thanking Clare for her dedication to CASA and wishing her well in her next steps!
During her time at CASA, Clare has been known for her superb organizational skills, her caring nature, and her reputation as the office comedian. The CASA of Kent County staff is grateful to Clare for her dedication, her leadership, and, of course, her hilarious one-liners. Although she didn’t work directly with children in her role as administrative manager, Clare never lost sight of the mission of child advocacy.
Reflecting on her time at CASA, Clare shared, “through all the good, bad, crazy, and fun times we’ve had here at CASA, there has always been one thing we have all worked together on in our own way: helping children find their way through the most difficult time in their lives. I’m so glad that I was able to be a part of this mission.”
Thank you, Clare, for your dedication to CASA! We wish you the best in your retirement!

When Christina Baur reflects on her identity and purpose, one word always rises to the surface: advocate.
For many, pinpointing the moment that set their career in motion isn’t easy. But Margaret Allen, a court-appointed attorney in Kent County, knows exactly where her journey into child welfare began—with the values her parents lived every day.
Hope isn’t always easy to see. It can flicker, grow dim, or feel out of reach. But for those willing to wait, to look closer, or to simply keep going, hope has a way of shining through. Ginger Randall knows this well.
