Charles M. Auslander (pictured), attorney and long-time child advocate, has been appointed President and CEO of The Children’s Trust after serving as its Chief Programs and Operations Officer for the past 7 years. We could not have made a better choice, said Maria Alonso, Chair of The Children’s Trust Board of Directors. Auslander’s career highlights prior to joining The Children’s Trust include organizing a firm-based dependency pro-bono project to represent guardians in dependency court as well as litigating authority for the Guardian ad Litem program to pursue termination of parental rights’ actions when the state would not. More recently, Charles was one of several attorneys instrumental in overturning Florida’s ban on gay adoptions.
