The Guardian ad Litem Project operates according to its By-laws under an Administrator and Advisory Committee. Elsie Day was the Guardian ad Litem Project's Administrator from 1981 to 1984. Marcia Dettelbach assumed that position in 1984. Magistrate Patricia Yeomans was the GAL Project's Administrator from 1987 to 1990, when Marita Kavalec came aboard and provided eight years of service to the Project. Marita Kavalec left the GAL Project to work for the Juvenile Court and was succeeded by Lisa O'Rear-Lassen for two years. In April 2001, the current Administrator, Judith L. Layne took the helm. Throughout the years, the Advisory Committee has been comprised of attorneys, psychologists, college faculty, social workers, foster parents, and members of valued community organizations. The Executive Director of the Cuyahoga County Bar Association and the Juvenile Court Administrative Judge serve as ex-officio members of the Advisory Committee.
