Firm Launches Community Impact Initiative
We are extremely proud of our firm ’ s long history of supporting the communities in which we live and work . Whether at the individual level in our respective communities or at the firm-wide level through our pro bono program , our impact across the country has been significant .
Maggie Stutman
With the August launch of our Community Impact initiative , we are expanding the firm ’ s efforts to provide community service opportunities more formally and strategically to all Blank Rome personnel through meaningful legal and non-legal projects . As part of this initiative , our partner and director of pro bono services , Kathy E . Ochroch , has expanded her role to include community impact and we added our first firm-wide community impact coordinator , Maggie Stutman , who will spearhead our community service efforts .
“ This initiative will significantly expand the firm ’ s community support and reach , and we look forward to finding opportunities to partner with our clients on upcoming service projects ,” said Kathy .
Our Community Impact Policy
As part of our Community Impact launch , we implemented our first Community Impact Policy that will , in addition to the firm ’ s commitment to pro bono efforts , support firm-sponsored community service events and opportunities for individual projects by permitting full-time administrative professionals to take up to eight hours of paid volunteer time each calendar year for community service efforts .
Maggie hit the ground running , organizing multiple Community Impact volunteer opportunities across our offices during 2022 .
