Federal Hill resident joins nonprofit board to aid victims of child abuse
Mr. Daniel Renz joins Maryland CASA Board of Directors
Maryland CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) Association has appointed Daniel Renz to a two-year term on its board of directors.
“Our youth are among the most vulnerable in our population, and it is incredibly important that abused and neglected children are supported and given a voice,” said Renz.
He added, “Child abuse and neglect is a sad reality, and our youth need individuals who will stand up for them and their rights in a complex legal system and, most importantly, ensure the child is comfortable and understands what is happening and the role each person plays in the legal proceedings.”

I cannot think of a better cause to put my efforts into than the Maryland CASA Association, and I look forward to giving my all to such a worthy cause,” said Renz.
