Norfolk County introduces Lucille Casas as incoming RSVP director

Norfolk County commissioners introduced Lucille Casas as the incoming director of the county’s RSVP (Retired and Senior Volunteer Program) on Feb. 12. The commission said Casas joined the county after a nationwide search and will take over leadership of RSVP.

Lucille Casas described a background in public service and nonprofit work, including roles in hospital public affairs and as chief development officer at Father Bill’s (a nonprofit homeless services organization). She said she managed about 400 volunteers at a prior organization, developed a donation distribution center to create volunteer roles, and oversaw marketing, communications and fundraising. “I love working with seniors,” Casas said, and she emphasized plans to meet partner sites, shore up relationships and publicize the program’s work through newsletters and social media.

Commissioners and staff welcomed Casas and noted the program’s focus on veterans transportation and volunteer services. County staff said Robert (last name not specified) and John (Cronin) will help Casas onboard and that she will begin working on program continuity and outreach. The commission did not record a separate roll‑call vote for the introduction during the public presentation; the hiring process had concluded earlier and the item on the agenda was an introduction and orientation to the commissioners.

Casas said she looks forward to meeting partners and volunteers across the county and to building on existing relationships. Commissioners encouraged her to “get your feet wet” and acknowledged the contributions of her predecessor and staff.
