The work of IAALS is critical and urgent, and how we do that work is essential to our influence. As a nonpartisan nonprofit dedicated to data-driven solutions to the toughest problems facing our civil justice system, we bring a unique and necessary approach to reform—and seek to include every voice at the table.
In that vein, we’re excited to include two new voices on our team, whose expertise will bolster our future impacts; Jessica Bednarz has joined IAALS as director of legal services and the profession, along with Kirk Jones as senior director of operations.
We have much work to do in 2023. I am excited about the momentum we have built nationally and as an organization, and this year I look forward to working together with all of you, our partners and friends, to accomplish even more.
