Hays County Commissioners appointed two people to the county’s Child Protection Board at their Nov. 26 meeting. Jodi Steen and Sarah Hall will each serve three-year terms ending on Dec. 31, 2022.
Steen, who was adopted as an infant, graduated from San Marcos High School and Texas State University, where she has been employed since 1991. For the past eight years, she has been director of Core Systems at the university.
She volunteers with Family4Life, an organization that works to reunite siblings that were separated by foster care and adoption. “I believe that, with my skills and abilities, I can assist the board in improving the lives of children in Hays County,” she said in a letter.
Hall, who holds a bachelor of arts/psychology from Chadron State College, served on the leadership team for Campus Crusade for Christ and is an executive assistant with The Mallard Group. She has also volunteered at LifeAustin Church and has managed a satellite office for Hope’s Promise, an adoption agency.
Neither were in court for their appointment; commissioners did not offer any discussion on the action.
