Stepping down from her executive director role, Connie Stephens said she was glad the reins have been passed to someone “just as passionate and committed.” Stephens, the outgoing executive director of the Hall-Dawson Court-Appointed Special Advocates, gathered with friends, family and fellow child advocates Tuesday night at the Hunt Tower in Gainesville to celebrate her 27 years of service. Janet Walden, who formerly served as the Forsyth CASA executive director, took over on July 11.
