Casey Family Programs' 2020 Strategy seeks to: 1) safely reduce the number of children in foster care in America by half by the year 2020, 2) effectively reinvest child welfare savings to strengthen the child welfare system, and 3) improve outcomes for youth in foster care, so they can transition to be self-sufficient, healthy adults.

Casey Family Programs is implementing the 2020 Strategy through direct service to children in foster care as well as through consulting with child welfare agencies and advancing public policy.

"Ken's proven success improving services for children and families in California, Utah and Idaho will be a critical asset as we implement our 2020 Strategy. Our aim is to reduce the need for foster care and to improve the life of every child who enters the foster care system," said David A. Berns, executive vice president of child and family services for Casey Family Programs.

Stanislaus County in central California, where Patterson served as community services director, safely reduced its foster care population by nearly 40 percent during the past 10 years while the county's child population grew by 24 percent.

"This is a very exciting time to be joining Casey Family Programs," said Patterson. "On any given day
