Press Release: Lori James-Townes to Lead NAPD

“The best thing about Lori is her track record of helping other people achieve their best. As a member-led association that is driven by the engagement of passionate and diverse professionals – diverse across systems, office cultures, generations and professions – there is no better leader to equip our members with what they need in order to make changes that benefit their clients and offices and elevate the national public defense reform movement. On behalf of our Steering Committee, we are extremely enthusiastic about the vision and leadership that Lori will bring to NAPD.”
