After a transformative term as the Executive Director of CASA of the Eastern Panhandle, Michelle Sudduth, along with her team, spent her last official day on the job accepting an $18,000 donation from Leadership Jefferson. A fitting final day for someone who has spent her life advocating for children in need.

We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Michelle for all the years of leadership, dedication, and advocacy. Our community is better because of Michelle!

Michelle, congratulations on your retirement! Your lasting impact on CASA of the Eastern Panhandle will be felt for generations ❤️
