As a non-profit it is often difficult to balance the private sector's abilities to change, up-grade or add new modes of informing the public on missions and accomplishes. So much of today's ability to deliver a message is done through social media as well as elaborate websites. Sumner County CASA, in conjunction with National CASA Association, is attempting to have a cohesive media campaign that will help build the branding of CASA in the Sumner County community. The challenge is to continue to evolve with growing various mediums to convey the need for volunteers, name recognition and the over all plight of abused and neglected children in our community, state and country.
