RMIAN Staff Members Will Share Their Expertise at American Bar Association Pro Bono Symposium on September 14 & 15, 2023
When the American Bar Association (ABA) Children’s Immigration Law Academy (CILA) & Commission on Immigration (COI) decided to hold its first ever Pro Bono Symposium, it asked RMIAN staff members Emily Brock and Kirsten Hoaby to share their perspectives. The Pro Bono Symposium, which will be held on September 14 & 15, 2023, will facilitate learning about pro bono program management and feature advocates from across the nation. Presenters will share their experience and expertise in pro bono programs working with volunteers and/or pro bono attorneys. This will be a virtual event, via Zoom, spread over two half days.
Kirsten Hoaby is RMIAN’s Pro Bono Volunteer Coordinator and will be featured on the panel entitled, “Utilizing Volunteer Translators and Interpreters to Support Pro Bono Cases” on Thursday, September 14, 2023 from 2:45-3:45 pm, MST.
