Mary Smith 

Executive Director 

LYON COUNTY CASA 

Yerington, NV

My name is Mary Smith, I am a native Northern Nevadan. My professional background is education. I taught American Sign Language at Western Nevada College for 13 year. During that time I taught a variety of skill levels. I also interpreted for deaf staff and students. After leaving the college I interpreted for Lyon County School District. Working with children and young adults has always been a passion of mine, as is giving back to the community and volunteering. I was a CASA Volunteer for 3 years prior to becoming the Executive Director in June of 2022. My husband, two children and I enjoy exploring the beautiful state that we live in and spending as much time as we can outdoors. 

I will be discussing the Role of Court Appointed Special Advocates in the court system. The importance of recruiting volunteers for children in the foster care system. The NRS 432B law that CASA operates under. Local statistics.

There will be Fernley Ambassadors to personally greet you at the front doors of The Fernley Art Center and guide you through the check-in process. The check-in table will feature 4 Fernley Ambassadors to assist you with the check-in process, including 50/50 raffle tickets, Bragging Bucks, etc.

Non-Chamber members are welcome to attend and learn about the many benefits available to you, your business or your organization as a Fernley Chamber of Commerce member.

If you are a business owner/operator, we strongly encourage you to bring a Door Prize for our raffle ticket giveaways at the end of the meeting. It will allow you and your business to maximize your exposure at the event.
