Becca Odelius, PBRC's Volunteer Manager, presented on a panel titled "Volunteer Engagement in Legal Services: Grow What Your Know." She was able to share how PBRC has witnessed the evolution of volunteer engagement in Maryland throughout over 36 years of service, and how our organization has adapted to these shifting trends.
