SNAPSHOT OF HOPE
Ann Caulkins,
CASA Case Supervisor
Learn more about SCAN through
the people from our past, present and
future.
Ann Caulkins was already a
committed child advocate when she first learned
about SCAN in 1995. Perhaps that's why her
commitment to SCAN is especially inspiring-she
already understood the importance of protecting
children and immediately saw an opportunity at
SCAN to optimize her impact on the children and
families in her community
