It is an honour to be involved on the Windsor-Essex Children’s Aid Foundation’s Board of Directors. Children are our greatest asset in building a safe and successful future, and helping at such a crucial time in their development is the foundation for change. As a recent resident of Windsor-Essex, seeing the top-notch programs & resources offered at the WECAS opened my eyes to what is possible in our community with hard work, generosity, and a LOT of heart.

It is truly an honour to serve on the Windsor-Essex Children’s Aid Foundation Board and contribute to initiatives that support the safety, growth, and well-being of children in our community. As a parent, protecting and supporting children is something that means a great deal to me, and I believe every child deserves the opportunity to feel safe, valued, and supported. Being actively involved in the Windsor Essex community through both business and volunteer work has shown me the importance of strong local partnerships, and I am passionate about helping raise awareness, building connections, and supporting programs that make a meaningful difference in the lives of families. I look forward to contributing my time, energy, and experience to help strengthen the impact the CAS Foundation continues to have across our region.

Thanh Tran
I am honoured to have the privilege of joining the Board of Directors for the Windsor-Essex Children’s Aid Foundation! As an educator and local resident who was born and raised in the Windsor-Essex region, I have been working with children and youth for the past ten years, and I wanted the opportunity to give back to the community by advocating for the safety and well-being of children and their families through education, program enrichment, and fundraising initiatives with the Children’s Aid Society. I hope to contribute my skills and experience within the education and non-profit sector and garner additional community engagement and support to further the great work of the Foundation. It starts with the root, and we can make our way towards building a stronger foundation for our youth!

Elizabeth Graper, Vice Chair
I feel incredibly fortunate to have the opportunity to serve on the Windsor-Essex Children’s Aid Foundation Board, and to be a part of extending opportunities and experiences to children of Windsor-Essex which they may not otherwise have access to.

Jason Seitsinger, Secretary
I am thrilled to join this Board because of the inspiring services that the Windsor-Essex Children’s Aid Society provides for our community. My mother-in-law has been a foster parent for years, and I have seen first-hand how professional and generous this organization is through facilitating safe and nurturing care for children. The other programs and supports the society provides are instrumental in connecting the community. I am excited about new initiatives, such as the Bridge of Hope program that helps teens transition into adulthood. I am honoured to serve in a small way to help continue these helpful programs.

With my passion for helping others, connecting with people, and striving for continuous betterment, I hope to support the organization, promote positive change in the area, and add to the legacy for which they are already renowned.
