Tom Moan was an Oregon
social worker and former deputy
administrator for the Department
of Human Services (DHS) Child
Welfare who died at 45 in 1985.
Shortly after his death, friends and
colleagues created the Tom Moan
Memorial Award.
The award honors child wel-
fare social service specialists who
have demonstrated excellence in,
and an outstanding commitment to
the fi eld of child welfare casework,
are role models and whose work is
based on positive values and pro-
fessional commitment.
This year’s Tom Moan Memo-
rial Award goes to two individuals,
Angela Whittaker, from District
1 in Astoria, and Brenna Moller-
strom, from District 4 in Corvallis.
Whittaker was described by her
peers and community partners as
an exemplary worker who demon-
strates compassion, tenacity, ded-
ication, cultural competency and
the ability to connect with children
and families. Her calm demeanor,
well-timed sense of humor, cre-
ative solutions, endless ideas and
support to problem-solve in some
unique situations, has been valu-
able beyond words.

Community Rights, which
The Clatsop Court Appointed
Special Advocate (CASA) Pro-
gram is seeking community mem-
bers to change the lives of children
in foster care for the better.
CASA volunteers are trained
to make a difference, and no prior
knowledge is required.
The next CASA training begins
April 10, and lasts six weeks.
There are both online and class-
room components that include dis-
cussions about child welfare laws,
what brings children into foster
care, and how CASAs advocate.
CASAs speak for a child’s best
interests, as they make recommen-
dations to the court and advocate
for services for children who are
in the child welfare system. CASA
volunteers work to achieve a safe,
permanent and loving home for
each child, as soon as possible.
With current volunteers serv-
ing over 100 children each year,
there is still a waiting list of chil-
dren who need advocates. Those
who are interested in becoming
a CASA can call 503-338-6063,
email casa@clatsopcasa.org.
