The Commission welcomes its first Executive Director, Amy Johnson

The Arkansas Access to Justice Commission recently welcomed its first Executive Director, Amy Dunn Johnson.

“We are very excited that Amy has accepted the role of Executive Director of the Arkansas Access to Justice Commission,” said Prof. Chuck Goldner, Chair of the Commission.

“Amy began working for the Commission shortly after our first Promise of Justice Conference,” he added, “and since then, she has hit the ground running.”

As part of her new position, Ms. Johnson leads the staff efforts for three groups: the Arkansas Access to Justice Commission, the recently created Arkansas Access to Justice Foundation, and the Arkansas IOLTA Foundation.

“My first order of business for the Commission,” Ms. Johnson said, “is to develop and implement a strategic statewide plan for increasing access to civil legal services.”
 
“I am delighted to be working for the Commission,” she continued. “I believe in its mission to provide access to civil justice to low-income Arkansans. The Commission has already accomplished a great deal in the seven years it has been in existence, and I look forward to being part of making its future plans a reality.”
