The Board of Trustees of Casey Family Programs has named Bob Watt trustee emeritus for his meritorious contributions as trustee and chair during his tenure with the Board.

Watt joined the Board in 2008 and became Board chair in 2013. He retired at the end of May 2016. During his tenure, Casey Family Programs worked to increase Communities of Hope across the country, to safely reduce the number of youth in foster care and to expand the number of tribal relationships in formal consulting agreements. Additionally, Watt helped oversee the integration of advancing knowledge about brain science and trauma into the foundation’s work and advocacy.

El cargo de miembro emérito de la junta directiva es un título honorífico otorgado por servicios distinguidos. Ofrece oportunidades para que el exmiembro sea invitado a las reuniones de la junta y a eventos especiales de Casey, y para asumir tareas especiales según se le solicite, aunque ya no como miembro activo con derecho a voto de la junta.

The Board congratulates Bob Watt on this designation and greatly appreciates his service in support of children and families across America.
