Board President ends term with Commendation Award

Kathryn Edge, outgoing president of Legal Aid Society Board of Directors receives Commendation Award from Gary Housepian, Executive Director of the Legal Aid Society of Middle Tennessee & The Cumberlands

The Legal Aid Society of Middle Tennessee and the Cumberlands, at their recent Board of Directors meeting in Nashville, recognized the outgoing board president for outstanding service.

Kathryn Edge served a one-year term as the president of the organization’s board of directors. Ms Edge has shown dedication and commitment to the position and to The Legal Aid Society. She will continue to serve as an active member of the board and as a notable practicing attorney in Nashville’s legal environs with Miller & Martin law firm.

The Legal Society Aid, LAS, offers free civil legal advice to many low-income Tennesseans who have nowhere else to turn. Serving 48 counties from offices in Clarksville, Columbia, Cookeville, Gallatin, Nashville, Murfreesboro, Oak Ridge and Tullahoma, the Legal Society fights for equal justice for our most vulnerable citizens. It is a non-profit, legal services organization funded in part by Legal Services Corporation, the Tennessee Bar Association, the United Way, the state of Tennessee and donations.

Locally, two Clarksvillians serve on the Board of Directors. Stan Darnell, an attorney, is a new board member. Turner McCullough Jr., US Army retired-disabled and a civil rights/citizens rights advocate, is also a board member. He was just elected Secretary of the Executive Committee.

The Clarksville Legal Aid Society office is located at 120 Franklin Street, 931-552-6656. It serves Montgomery, Stewart, Robertson, Chetham, Houston, Humphreys and Dickson Counties.
