Cherokee County Case Manager Honored with Child Advocacy Award

Tara Brodhead, a case manager with the Cherokee County Division of Family and Children Services, was recently honored with the 2024 Chief Justice Harris Hines Award for Outstanding Advocacy for Children in Dependency Proceedings.

Brodhead received the award June 7 during the annual meeting of the State Bar of Georgia.

The award, sponsored by the Committee on Justice for Children of the Supreme Court of Georgia and the Office of the Child Advocate of Georgia, is presented to one lawyer and one case manager for outstanding advocacy for children in dependency proceedings.
