KATHRYN HAS HAD AN EXTRAORDINARY FOCUS ON A NUMBER OF AREAS, PARTICULARLY EDUCATION. SHE UNDERSTANDS THE IMPORTANCE OF INTEGRATED LITIGATION, COMMUNICATIONS, MOVEMENT BUILDING, AND ADVOCACY STRATEGIES. KATHRYN IS DEEPLY RESPECTED BY OUR SUPPORTERS, BOARD, STAFF, AND COMMUNITY, AND SHE IS A THOUGHTFUL AND INSPIRING LEADER. ADDITIONALLY, SHE HAS BEEN ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN CIVIC LIFE, INCLUDING SERVING AS VICE PRESIDENT OF THE LIBRARY BOARD. KATHRYN IS NOT ONLY A GREAT PROFESSIONAL BUT ALSO A GREAT FRIEND. AT THIS POINT IN OUR COUNTRY’S HISTORY, PUBLIC COUNSEL’S IMPACT IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT. I AM DELIGHTED THAT, AFTER AN EXTENSIVE SEARCH, WE HAVE SELECTED ONE OF OUR OWN. KATHRYN EIDMANN IS AN EXTRAORDINARY ADVOCATE FOR CIVIL AND ECONOMIC RIGHTS AND WILL DRIVE POSITIVE CHANGE FOR OUR COMMUNITY AND FOR OUR COUNTRY.” × Judy Verduzco “I’M DELIGHTED TO WELCOME KATHRYN AS OUR NEW PRESIDENT AND CEO,” SAID JUDY VERDUZCO, DIRECTOR OF SOCIAL WORK AT PUBLIC COUNSEL. “KATHRYN DEEPLY APPRECIATES THE UNIQUE SKILLSETS THAT SOCIAL WORKERS BRING TO OUR LEGAL PRACTICE, WHICH BUILD OUR CAPACITY TO EMBED TRAUMA-INFORMED PRINCIPLES IN OUR WORK, BENEFITING BOTH OUR CLIENTS AND STAFF. SHE IS COMMITTED TO SUSTAINING AND GROWING OUR INTERDISCIPLINARY ADVOCACY MODEL IN ORDER TO CONTINUE DELIVERING HOLISTIC AND EFFECTIVE LEGAL SERVICES. KATHRYN ALSO RECOGNIZES THE IMPACT OF COMPASSION FATIGUE, SECONDARY TRAUMA, AND BURNOUT ON STAFF. PUBLIC COUNSEL HAS PRIORITIZED STAFF WELLNESS, OFFERING ACTIVITIES SUCH AS FULL-DAY WELLNESS RETREATS, GUIDED MINDFULNESS AND MEDITATION CLASSES, AND VIRTUAL YOGA CLASSES. KATHRYN IS COMMITTED TO FOSTERING A HEALTHY WORKPLACE FOR ALL BY SUPPORTING ACTIVITIES THAT PROMOTE STAFF WELLNESS AND WORKING TOWARD BUILDING A COMPREHENSIVE FRAMEWORK FOR WORKPLACE WELLNESS ACROSS THE ORGANIZATION.” × Mark Rosenbaum “I HAVE BEEN A COLLEAGUE AND CO-COUNSEL WITH KATHRYN FOR OVER A DECADE,” SAID MARK ROSENBAUM, SENIOR SPECIAL COUNSEL FOR STRATEGIC LITIGATION AT PUBLIC COUNSEL. “BY HER EXPERIENCE AND VISION, SHE IS UNIQUELY QUALIFIED TO LEAD PUBLIC COUNSEL TO END THE DISPARITIES CREATED BY POVERTY AND RACISM THAT DIVIDE LOS ANGELES AND CALIFORNIA INTO COMMUNITIES OF HAVES AND HAVE-NOTS. KATHRYN IS THE MOST BRILLIANT AND INNOVATIVE STRATEGIST I HAVE WORKED WITH IN OVER A HALF-CENTURY OF PRACTICE. WITH HER LEADERSHIP, PUBLIC COUNSEL WILL BE TO ECONOMIC LIBERTIES AND RIGHTS WHAT THE ACLU IS TO CIVIL LIBERTIES AND RIGHTS.” × Roman Silberfeld “AS A LONGTIME PUBLIC COUNSEL SUPPORTER, I COULDN’T BE MORE EXCITED ABOUT THE CHOICE OF OUR NEW LEADER, KATHRYN EIDMANN,” SAID ROMAN SILBERFELD, A PARTNER AT ROBINS KAPLAN LLC AND PAST CHAIR OF THE BOARD. “KATHRYN WILL ABLY FILL THE SHOES OF OUR DISTINGUISHED PAST CEOS, AND, MORE THAN THAT, SHE WILL WITHOUT ANY DOUBT EXCEED THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF HER PREDECESSORS BECAUSE OF THE UNIQUE QUALITIES THAT SHE BRINGS TO HER NEW ROLE. MOST NOTABLY, KATHRYN IS AN EXCELLENT LAWYER WHO HAS GUIDED MANY OF THE IMPORTANT AND GROUNDBREAKING CASES THAT PUBLIC COUNSEL HAS BROUGHT. AND, GREAT LEADERSHIP IS MOST OFTEN EXEMPLIFIED BY SETTING A GREAT EXAMPLE FOR THOSE WHOM ONE HAS THE PRIVILEGE TO LEAD. KATHRYN WILL, AND ALWAYS HAS, SET A GREAT EXAMPLE OF BEING A PERSON OF HIGH MORAL VALUES, OF DISTINGUISHED SERVICE, AND OF GREAT VISION ABOUT THE IMPORTANT ISSUES OF OUR TIME THAT AFFECT THE COMMUNITIES THAT WE SERVE. KATHRYN HAS ALWAYS BEEN A VOICE FOR THOSE COMMUNITIES AND, AS CEO, WILL SURELY MAKE EVEN GREATER STRIDES TO DELIVER JUSTICE, HOPE, AND OPPORTUNITY.” × Bruce Cormicle “KATHRYN KNOWS WHAT IS RIGHT AND WHAT IS JUST. EVEN MORE IMPORTANTLY — SHE KNOWS HOW TO ACHIEVE IT,” SAID BRUCE CORMICLE, SECRETARY OF THE BOARD AND OWNER OF HIS OWN LAW FIRM. “A BRILLIANT STRATEGIST – SHE SEES MOVES AND OUTCOMES WELL IN ADVANCE. I’VE SEEN HER ARGUE A CASE IN THE NINTH CIRCUIT WITH UNPARALLELED COMMAND, CONTROL, AND CHARM. KATHRYN’S AUTHENTICITY AND PASSION FOR PUBLIC INTEREST WORK SHINE THROUGH IN EVERYTHING SHE DOES. SHE IS A NATURAL LEADER WHO BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER EFFORTLESSLY AND WILL HIT THE GROUND RUNNING ON DAY ONE. IT IS A SPECTACULAR MOMENT FOR PUBLIC COUNSEL AND FOR THE CLIENTS THAT WE SERVE.” ×
