 Tim Fleming: The Volunteer of the Year at the Rose Cologne Volunteer Recognition Dinner

       Tim has served on the Board for nine years – four as President. Tim is a wonderful advocate for CACJ. When asked WHY he volunteers for CACJ, he replied: “I chose to become a board member of CACJ because of my belief in our mission. CACJ provided me with insight into becoming a mediator, and now a collaborative divorce lawyer. After 36 years of practicing both criminal and family law, I believe in the principles of peaceful resolution of conflict, and my association with CACJ has enabled me to advance those principles to which I hold close. CACJ is also an important asset to our courts and our county as a resource for support to our custody mediation and supervised bail pro-grams. I believe in the value of thoise programs to the court and the community at large.”
