Ryan is enthusiastic to get started and will be full - time with TCVLS after November 14 th . Welcome Chad! Ashley Mucino : Ashley joined us at the end of August. Ashley will be our Clinic Coordinator for our rural legal advice clinics in south Thurston, Lewis, Grays Harbor and Pacific counties. She is doing lots to cover Thurston County clinics while Chad is in transitioning into his new role. Welcome Ashley! Michelle Lewis: Michelle joined us this summer as our Resource Development Assistant. She is helping us develop all our resources --- volunteers and donors. She is organizing our fall CLEs and will help us as we get ready for our Spring Breakfast tentatlively scheduled for May 2nd. YAY, Michelle!
Post Pandemic Planning: In January, we will be updating our clinics to increase access for both clients and volunteer attorneys. Each will have choice on whether to attend in person or virtually. About half of the volunteer attorneys at SafePlace already advise clients using video conferencing from the comfort of their homes! The other half are excited to be back interacting with both other attorneys and their clients.
