August Board Spotlight: Tim Schuler

CASA of Lexington Board Member Tim Schuler

Tim Schuler has a soft spot for kids, especially kids who have experienced abuse, and those who are just too young to understand what’s really happening around them. He sees serving as a board member for CASA as his way to make a difference.

“We as a community need to take care of kids and shield them from harm,” he said.

Schuler has been a banker since 1983. In 2019, a friend of Schuler’s suggested he put his financial expertise to work for his community.

“She suggested I join CASA of Lexington’s board,” he said. “She said I would not only get a lot out of it, but I would have fun, too. That all turned out to be true.”

Schuler has found joy in being a board member because of the mission of CASA and the people involved in the organization. 

“The people are wonderful,” Schuler said. “I especially enjoy watching the growth of the organization as CASA expands into Woodford, Bourbon, Scott, Jessamine and Garrard counties, spreading out to help even more children.”

In his free time, Schuler enjoys golfing, traveling, and reading.

Schuler expressed his gratitude and admiration for CASA volunteers.

“The volunteers are the heart and soul of the organization. They’re the ones face-to-face with the children and who are doing the hard work of advocacy,” he said. “We’re grateful for you and we would be nowhere without you.”
