Congratulations to #PDSDC alumna Kelli Neptune, executive director of the D.C. Bar Pro Bono Center, on being recognized as one of the Women's Bar Association of the District of Columbia Stars of the Bar! #Alumni #PublicDefenders
Meet the Stars! This year, in support of our 2024-2025 bar year theme, “Strong Communities, Strong Careers”, we are celebrating women who have led communities that support the career development of women and others in the legal profession. Kelli Neptune is the Executive Director of the D.C. Bar Pro Bono Center, the largest provider of pro bono legal services in the District of Columbia. Her commitment to public service began during her almost decade-long tenure at the Public Defender Service for the District of Columbia representing juveniles and adults in misdemeanor, felony, appellate, and civil housing and family law cases. Currently, she serves on the boards of the National Legal Aid and Defender Association, the Artishia and Frederick Jordan Scholarship Fund, and is an ex officio member of the Judicial Conference of the D.C. Circuit’s Standing Committee on Pro Bono Legal Services. She is also a Commissioner with the DC Access to Justice Commission. Beyond her professional endeavors, Kelli is a voter registration volunteer with the Maryland State Board of Elections. The evening is an opportunity to hear from our Stars and meet WBA Board members and co-chairs to learn how to get involved with the WBA. There is no cost to attend, but we ask that you register: https://lnkd.in/enb93yhi #WBAStars #promotingwomenlawyers
