This resolution honors Judge Andy Brigham of Stewart County for his dedicated efforts to bring Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) to the county, recognizing his fourteen-year commitment to improving outcomes for at-risk youth. CASA is a national program that utilizes approximately 70,000 volunteers who work to support children in the foster care and child welfare system by meeting with them monthly, building trusting relationships, and ensuring their experiences and needs are considered in legal proceedings. The resolution praises Judge Brigham for his professionalism, integrity, and compassionate approach to treating individuals with dignity and respect, noting that he was recently featured on News Channel 5 Nashville's "My Hero" segment for his important work. By championing the CASA program in Stewart County, Judge Brigham has demonstrated a commitment to ensuring that children have proper representation and support in the legal system, ultimately contributing to the well-being and safety of youth in Tennessee.
