A Heartfelt Farewell and Warm Welcome

 

On July 16th, 2021, De Novo bid farewell to Susan Corcoran, our much-loved Volunteer and Training Coordinator, who is retiring after a fifty-year career in public interest.

Susan first came to De Novo as a volunteer attorney in 2006 and has been a vital member of our staff since 2016. During that time she has worn many hats, as a volunteer champion, thoughtful and collaborative colleague, creative thinker, generous mentor, technology pioneer and tireless supporter of our clients and mission. True to form, Susan will be staying on in her retirement as a volunteer attorney with De Novo’s family law program.

As Susan and her family prepare for her next adventure, we are very pleased to welcome Jason Fasano as De Novo’s next Volunteer and Communications Coordinator.
