Regan Phillips
Chief Executive Officer of CASA Orange County
“A brilliant attorney whose life work was inspired by her passion for helping children”
Regan first became involved with CASA in 2001 while living in New York City and studying undergraduate at Columbia. She completed a one-year internship with CASA-NYC, launching her career advocating for children in the dependency system. After finishing law school in California, she was assigned to a trial court department at the Lamoreaux Justice Center in Orange, where she represented children in the foster care system. In her role as minor’s counsel, Regan worked with CASA volunteers in the courtroom to obtain their valuable insight into the child’s life, and better advance the child's interests. After the birth of her first child, Regan worked for a time as a solo practitioner handling private adoptions. In 2009, she accepted an invitation to join the Board of Directors of CASA OC. In 2015, Regan joined the staff of CASA as Chief Program Officer. Regan was elevated to CEO position in December of 2017. She has spent most of her professional life performing work about which she is deeply passionate—advocating for children removed from their homes and separated from their families due to abuse, neglect, or abandonment.“I have the greatest admiration and respect for the committed individuals who volunteer as Court Appointed Special Advocates and those who give so generously to ensure our organization may continue recruiting, training, and supporting those volunteers,” Regan says. Don’t miss this episode where we learn what makes this dynamo tick and how lucky we are to have this briliiant, kind and hardworking woman at the helm of this integral organization that plays such a major role in protecting children in our Foster care system.
