On Friday, Feb. 6, Wood County Juvenile Court Judge David E. Woessner administered the oath of office to two community members who will serve three-year terms on the Wood County Juvenile Court Citizens’ Review Board (CRB).

The Wood County Juvenile Court CRB announced the return of Steve Heckler of Haskins and Ann Hannah-Cizauskas of Walbridge for additional three-year terms. Both have served on the CRB for more than 10 years.

In making the appointments, Woessner noted, “We are very grateful to have volunteers such as Steve and Ann assist with our CRB. Our CRB members provide a valuable service in reviewing case plans and services being provided for families involved in the juvenile court system. We truly appreciate the ongoing dedication of all of our CRB and Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteers.”

CRB volunteers meet monthly to review and make recommendations to the court concerning case plans written by the Children Services Unit of the Department of Job and Family Services. These case plans detail the services needed to assist children and their families.

Individuals interested in volunteering with the Wood County CASA/GAL program or with the CRB may contact Kristen Leverton, program director, or a volunteer coordinator at 419-352-3554.
