We are proud to announce that our Americorps VISTA member, Dina Knott, has completed a year-long library overhaul to combine and curate the best materials for pro bono lawyers and nonprofit staff. The IAN Library is a collection of training materials, practice advisories, and other resources for immigration legal advocates. Our goal for this library renovation is to welcome new practitioners to the field. The Library contains 17 sections, including Introduction to Immigration; Asylum and Refugee Issues; and Community Engagement and Empowerment. Each section has its own “Getting Started” folder with the top resources for pro bono or nonprofit legal staff who are new to the topic or need a refresh. See what's new at the Library!
IAN Americorps VISTAs: Farewells & Welcomes
 IAN says goodbye to two valued members of the Americorps VISTA program, Tre Dennis-Brown and Dina Knott. Tre and Dina worked on projects to support pro bono and nonprofit advocates, including the library renovation, the newest edition of the Remote Legal Support Guide, webinars, podcasts, and more. Tre is now the pro bono coordinator at Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP; and Dina is a Legal Assistant, at the Wildlife and Marine Resources, Natural Resources Division, Department of Justice. Now, new Americorps VISTA Brittany Long is joining the team. Brittany comes to IAN with a background in immigration and refugee asylum and years of experience working in Greece within the refugee crisis. A fond farewell to Dina and Tre and a warm welcome to Brittany!
