The Catholic Legal Immigration Network, also known as CLINIC, has appointed a new executive director.
Jeanne Atkinson previously served as director of the Catholic Charities Immigration Legal Services program for the Archdiocese of Washington, D.C. She has worked for Catholic Charities for more than 20 years.
CLINIC, a subsidiary of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, annually serves about 700,000 immigrants in 47 states. The network of charitable legal programs for immigrants will celebrate its 25th anniversary next year.
