Board Spotlight: Roger Carbajal

Roger Carbajal first heard about CASA of Lexington while working with another volunteer organization. He met someone in a meeting who told him about CASA’s mission and he knew he had to be a part of it. He has been involved at CASA ever since. Having served as both a volunteer advocate and a Friend of CASA, Carbajal said he found he could partner with the organization most effectively as a board member.

Carbajal said his time on the board has given him a more complete view of the impact the organization makes. Through the experiences he has had as a volunteer advocate on the board, he said the lens through which he views CASA has been enriched.

Roger runs Carbajal’s Garden Center in Lawrenceburg. Before returning to the family business, he spent 14 years working for the federal government. 

In his spare time he enjoys traveling, hiking, eating, and spending time with his dog, Bison. He also loves to play soccer any chance he can get.

To all CASA volunteers, he would like to say, “Thank you. It is because of the hard work of the volunteers that the lives of Kentucky’s children are made better.”

“Carry on the CASA mission and know we greatly appreciate what you do,” he said.We fully support each and every one associated with CASA. What you do inspires hope.”
