“I’m looking forward to leading the New Jersey program as Pro Bono Partnership enters its third decade of providing high-quality legal services to charitable nonprofits. With the assistance of our terrific volunteers and Partnership staff, including my Parsippany-based colleagues Program and Marketing Assistant Kate Marchese and Senior Staff Attorney Kent Hansen, we hope to assist more nonprofits in underserved communities and in the southern part of New Jersey,” Duffy said.

Nancy Eberhardt, partnership executive director, said Duffy “is well-respected in the nonprofit community, and invested in its success. I’m excited to have Christine leading the New Jersey program.”
