Anne Marie “Annie” Shreiber
Chair, Lumpkin County
Biography
Annie is a multicultural entrepreneur, respected Board member, and talented organizer. She and her husband Nick have lived in eight countries, and she has made a societal impact in many of them.
Born in Sweden to Swiss parents, as a baby her family moved to Argentina where she grew up and completed her education in four languages (Spanish, English, French and Swiss-German). Soon after her marriage to Nick in 1973, they moved to Switzerland, where her work for an international finance institution enabled Nick to complete his MBA studies.
Thereafter, Nick’s career allowed them to live an international life. During her years in Mexico, Annie decided to put her languages to work and, together with two other like-minded women, founded a successful translating/interpreting Company which existed for many years. When their lives took them to Spain, Annie became a free-lance translator.
Annie and Nick spent two more stints in Switzerland; during the first (1989-1992) she and a few other young mothers started the Parents Association in their children’s Commonwealth American School in Lausanne. During their last period living in Switzerland (2000-2008), Annie founded the Tetra Laval Women’s International Group (TWIG) to support and guide wives of expatriate executives within the Tetra Laval Group, who were typically not able to work due to visa restrictions; she was the President of TWIG for its first three years.
When they first moved to the United States in 1992, Annie joined the Board of UNICEF, became a volunteer for the non-profit organization Families First, and was on the Board – and also President – of the Atlanta International Women’s Club. After Nick’s retirement, they moved back to the United States and settled permanently in Dahlonega. There, she met Della Lago and knew immediately that, in joining CASA, she would fulfill her passion for giving, and for changing the lives of children. Currently, Annie is on the Board of, and a volunteer for, Enotah CASA. Annie will always be passionate about the children for whom she advocates!
Annie and Nick have two happily-married sons and five grandchildren that keep them quite busy and entertained. Annie’s principal hobby is sculpting, where she discovered a latent and exciting talent. In addition, for many years Annie has enjoyed hiking, bareboat sailing, SCUBA diving, kayaking, and playing tennis.

Biography
My name is Tania Lightsey, and I’ve called Cleveland, Georgia home for the past 31 years. I’m a proud mother of five and a grandmother to four—with our fifth grandchild arriving soon! My heart has always been rooted in caring for children. I spent several years teaching in Head Start programs before choosing to stay home to raise my children and later help with my grandchildren.
Today, I’m a realtor serving the North Georgia area, but my passion for children and families remains a core part of who I am. When I learned about CASA and the incredible role they play in advocating for children in the foster care system, I knew I wanted to be a part of that mission. It’s an honor to serve and support children through CASA and help ensure they are seen, heard, and given the chance to thrive.
