Get to know the Board: Ellen Shiery
How many years have you been on the CASA Board?
I have been on the Board for 3 years. Currently I serve as Vice President.
Tell us about your time outside CASA. Any career highlights to share?
I currently work at Merrill Lynch as a Wealth Management Advisor, however I am especially honored to have recently be named Emerging Philanthropist of the Year, by the Community Foundation of Anne Arundel County.
What inspired you to get involved with CASA?
I was looking for a volunteer opportunity that would give me the chance to really make a difference in the life of a child. I started out in CASA as a volunteer, and now serve on the Board.

I am a passionate volunteer in the community with a number of organizations including Junior League of Annapolis, Anne Arundel Women Giving Together, Impact100, and the Anne Arundel Medical Center Foundation.
What’s something fun and quirky about you?
I dabble in the fiber arts–mostly knitting. I also love trivia!
