Session: 1 + 1 = 3: Aligning Corporate Social Responsibility and Pro Bono
Tuesday, October 2 from 2:30 to 4:00 pm
This interactive session will explore the intersection of corporate social responsibility and pro bono.

Meet with CPBO
CPBO would enjoy meeting with attendees when they have free time between programs. If you are interested in sitting down with CPBO for a few minutes to discuss options and initiatives for yourself, your law department, or your chapter, please contact Eric Florenz to set up a time that is convenient for you.  Or, stop by the CPBO booth in the exhibit hall to see new resources and chat with the CPBO team.
