Laura Wolf
Consultant
Laura brings more than 25 years of professional nonprofit experience in Austin, including 18 years as the CEO of CASA of Travis County.

Laura believes in excellence and integrity in service to honorable missions that make our communities better.
As CEO of CASA of Travis County, Laura led numerous initiatives that were replicated in other CASA programs around the state and steered CASA to achieve its longtime north star: accepting automatic appointment from the Court to every new case of child abuse or neglect in Travis County.
In addition to her professional experience, Laura has volunteered as President of The Junior League of Austin and on numerous local nonprofit Boards of Directors, including current service on the Board of Friends of the Children-Texas.
