On September 20, Golden Gate and OneJustice hosted their first annual Nonprofit Leadership Training and Reception. The event took place on campus at GGU. The topic for the inaugural training was “How to Obtain Funds to Support a Postgraduate Fellow.” Four attorneys from respected nonprofit organizations closely tied to Golden Gate addressed other nonprofit leaders about how to navigate the fellowship process, successfully supervise a fellow and ensure long-term stability for a fellowship project. The panelists included Paul Cohen, Executive Director at Legal Aid of Marin; Jerel McCrary, Regional Counsel at Bay Area Legal Aid; Teresa Panepinto, Legal Director at Swords to Plowshares; Peggy Stone, Director of Interns and Volunteer Attorneys at East Bay Children's Law Offices. They spoke to an audience including representatives from AIDS Legal Referral Panel, East Bay Community Law Center, Equal Justice Society, Family Violence Law Center, Homeless Action Center, Legal Services for Children, National Housing Law Project, Tenants Together and others. Afterwards, everyone convened in the GGU Center for a reception with Dean Van Cleave and students.
