&lt;div xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;Their analysis was recently completed as of September 30, 2023, and the comprehensive report summary can be found at the link above.  In short: MMB’s MAD team ultimately recommends the Guardian ad Litem Program end the use of volunteers in the Guardian ad Litem role and instead consider other ways to benefit from volunteers and their time, passion, and expertise.  Study context and findings are outlined in the report summary. &lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;The Guardian ad Litem Board and staff will be conducting public presentations and listening sessions to explain this report, as well as to gather comments and feedback from stakeholders in our community.  Those listening sessions will be held: &lt;/div&gt;
