iEat Green Explores the World of Pro Bono Work, with Elena Mihaly from the Conservation Law Foundation, and Priya Morganstern from the Pro Bono Partnership, Inc.

Hi Everybody,

I hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July, and found sometime to relax and enjoy the holiday. I know I did! Wonderful friends, delicious farm fresh food, and delightful spirits, a perfect holiday mix!

This week, on the Progressive Radio Network, I will have the pleasure of interviewing 2 very special matchmakers. They are not your typical matchmakers, trying to set up that perfect date. They are lawyers, working for organizations that match the perfect lawyer with the perfect project. My first guest is Elena Mihaly. She is a Legal Fellow, funded through the Betsy and Jesse Fink Foundation, to work in the Healthy Communities and Environmental Justice Program at the Conservation Law Foundation. She works primarily on policy development for Conservation Law Foundation’s (CLF) Farm & Food Initiative, but is also involved with CLF’s transportation policy work and climate change litigation. Elena helped launch and is now the Coordinator of CLF’s Legal Services Food Hub – a pro bono legal services clearinghouse for farmers and food entrepreneurs. My second guest, Priya Morganstern, is Program Director of the Hartford Program of the Pro Bono Partnership, Inc.  She has been with the Partnership for over 7 years, and has been engaged in public interest law for over 10.  Both Elena and Priya love their work. They are lawyers doing the right thing! They get to spend their time finding lawyers who want to give back to their communities by doing pro bono work, while at the same time, finding clients who need legal council, yet are short on funds to be able to pay for it. It is a win-win situation, and everyone comes away feeling good about the work. Please join me on Thursday, and listen to these two dynamic women. images
