The assessment is used to help organizations by identifying goals for improving access to legal services for the next three years. Rchmond “I have helped the organization prioritize, plan for and initiate strategic goals aimed at increasing client access to services through expanding the use of technology with clients, increasing efficiency of services, incorporating social workers and social work interns into service delivery and strengthening the pro bono program," Richmond said.
