The Pro Bono Program Manager is responsible for working with legal services and bar association programs to facilitate opportunities for Department employees, to chair the Department’s Pro Bono and Volunteer Services Committee, and to provide support to the pro bono representatives in each component. • Each Department component has a representative on the Department’s Pro Bono and Volunteer Services Committee; the component representatives are charged with communicating with the employees in their components, consulting with the component head and the ethics official concerning general approval of pro bono programs, and generally serving as a point person on pro bono issues for the component.
