CASA Board Member Spotlight: Chris Hoskins

Chris Hoskins is one of the longest serving members on CASA of Lexington's Board of Directors. Having served on the Board since 2015, he has been a part of the organization's impressive growth over the past six years, including expansion from Fayette into Bourbon, Woodford and now Scott counties.

"I was born and raised in Woodford County, so it really means a lot that we now serve a community that has given so much to me," he said.

Hoskins lives in downtown Lexington and is a partner at Jackson Kelly PLLC, where he specializes in equine and construction law.

"I had never heard of CASA until a friend suggested I get involved and serve on the board," he said. "Now, everyone knows about CASA, which is a testament to (Executive Director) Melynda (Jamison), the CASA team, and the volunteers' passion for an unduplicated resource that makes a real difference in our community."

Hoskins' mother is actively involved in CASA as well and has served as a CASA volunteer for several years.

"As a pediatric oncology nurse at UK for more than 40 years and an advocate for that cause, she is passionate about making a difference in our community," he said. "And CASA is one of her true passions."

Hoskins is in his second term as a CASA board member; his current term ends in June.
