October Board Member Spotlight: Judy Cummins

Judy Cummins

Judy Cummins was first introduced to CASA of Lexington when her husband’s company, Dan Cummins Chevrolet, became a financial supporter of the organization.

She immediately took to the mission of CASA and her enthusiasm for serving motivated her to join the board. 

“(Executive Director) Melynda Jamison’s leadership made me want to be part of CASA," she said. "I have huge respect for her work and her drive.”

Along with getting to know the other board members, Judy has enjoyed getting to witness the work that CASA does first hand.

“The thing I have enjoyed most would probably be the court visit that I got to go on in Bourbon county. It was really amazing to get to see the work that the Volunteer Managers do in action and how effective they are," she said. "I also loved the judges appreciation dinner the past two years.  Seeing their appreciation for what the volunteers do has been really amazing.”

Outside of her involvement with CASA, Cummins is a stay-at-home mom and is on the Board of Directors with the Saint Joseph Hospital Foundation. She enjoys traveling, reading, and spending time with her husband, John, and her boys.

To all CASA volunteers, Cummins would like to extend her appreciation.

“Thank you so much for giving your time and helping to end the cycle.”
