CASA Of Middlesex County Names East Brunswick BOE Member As New Executive Director

EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ - CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) of Middlesex County has appointed East Brunswick Board of Education member Tim Cummings as its new Executive Director.

Cummins brings more than two decades of nonprofit leadership experience to the organization dedicated to advocating for abused and neglected children, the organization said in a media release.

Cummings comes to CASA with extensive experience in nonprofit administration and a proven track record in social impact initiatives, community development, and empowering marginalized populations.

His strategic vision and collaborative leadership style align closely with CASA's mission to serve as advocates for children living in out-of-home placements throughout Middlesex County, the organization said.

"I am honored to join CASA of Middlesex County and work alongside their dedicated and driven Board of Directors, staff, volunteers, and community partners," Cummings said in a media statement. "As a resident of Middlesex County, I'm especially grateful for the opportunity to play a role in supporting the needs of some of the most vulnerable members of our community."

Under Cummings' leadership, CASA plans to expand its reach and deepen its impact in the community. The organization aims to ensure that more children in the county's foster care system have a voice and access to resources that can help them find safe, permanent homes.

"I am confident that, together, we will continue the great legacy of this organization and drive forward a more just and compassionate society," Cummings said.

CASA of Middlesex County has built a strong reputation over the years for its advocacy work with children in foster care. The organization trains community volunteers to serve as court-appointed advocates, ensuring that each child's best interests are represented in legal proceedings.

The transition comes at a time when CASA's services are increasingly needed, as the organization continues to address the complex challenges facing children in the foster care system and work toward systemic improvements in child welfare.
