Federal Agency Pro Bono Leadership Award
A DOL Office of the Solicitor’s program has won this year's Federal Agency Pro Bono Leadership Award. The prize recognizes SOL’s commitment to promoting pro bono work among its attorneys and legal staff. For the past two years SOL has hosted several educational workshops, updated the SOL Pro Bono Policy, instituted a progressive administrative leave policy for pro bono work, and actively supported the development of Chicago's new regional pro bono program. On October 29th, SOL Pro Bono Program Coordinators, Kathy Easmunt and Elizabeth Goldberg, will be accompanied by the Acting Solicitor of Labor, Carol De Deo, the Associate Solicitor for Legal Counsel, Bob Shapiro, and the Counsel for Ethics, Rob Sadler, to receive this honor on behalf of the Department and the volunteers who made this award possible.
