Poverty, access and opportunity should never stand in the way of equal justice. For almost 100 years, Atlanta Legal Aid Society has worked to promote this idea and provide those with limited means or opportunity access to capable civil legal representation to help address a wide spectrum of issues. Through the efforts of a committed staff, board and hundreds of volunteers, Atlanta Legal Aid annually helps tens of thousands of individuals across the Greater Atlanta region navigate civil legal issues to help ensure that the legal system works for all. The organization is at an important inflection point and is navigating both the upcoming retirement of its long-serving Executive Director and continuing its successful efforts to manage revenue and programs post-pandemic. To lead these efforts, Atlanta Legal Aid seeks a bold, committed and collaborative leader who can both imagine and deliver a vibrant future for the organization. This leader will build on the organization’s reputation as a full-service provider of free-of-charge legal representation on civil matters for low-income individuals and a champion for those whose voice might ordinarily be muted due to limited resources. Known for both its strong organizational culture and the excellence of its professional staff, Atlanta Legal Aid Society is a unique constellation of legal talent with a high level of passion for public service law. The new leader will inherit a strong organization and be charged with leading Atlanta Legal Aid to even greater levels of innovation, stability, reach and connection with the Greater Atlanta community.
