Rebecca Harbage is very excited to be a part of the CASA Board. She first joined CASA in January 2008 as an AmeriCorps volunteer. During her year working with CASA, Rebecca was involved in instituting the volunteer mentoring program and increasing cultural training for volunteers who work with Native children. She also worked with Bill Collins and Pam Young to compile documents for affiliation with National CASA. After leaving CASA, Rebecca worked as the Page Coordinator for the House of Representatives in the 2009 Legislative Session.
