Representative of a cross-section of the Illinois legal community, PILI's Board of Directors is the governing body responsible for the overall management of the organization. Members of the board come from law firms, corporations and law schools as well as representatives from our Participating Agencies at which we place PILI Law Student Interns and Fellows and foundations that support PILI. Representatives from our two most recent Intern and Fellow classes and representatives from our Alumni Network Leadership Council and Young Professionals Board also serve as non-voting members of the Board of Directors.
