Joan advocated as a CASA volunteer for 13 consecutive years for CASA of Baltimore County, Inc., where she also served on their board of directors for 6 years.

“I look forward to taking the knowledge I gained over the years and applying it to the state level,” said McGill. “I hope to use my experience of being a CASA volunteer, as well as a board member for CASA of Baltimore County, to support the Maryland CASA mission of ensuring all of Maryland’s abused and neglected children their right to a safe, permanent home,” she added.

McGill has accumulated over 30 years of experience in marketing and community relations and is currently the President of The Dillingham Company, a marketing services and real estate management firm located in Sparks, MD.
