Ohio Innocence Project at Cincinnati Law Board of Advocates

Formed in 2013, the Board of Advocates is made up of professionals dedicated to the integrity and growth of the Ohio Innocence Project at Cincinnati Law. Board members help raise funds to support OIP's legal work, and they have also provided assistance with Development, Marketing and Public Relations efforts. They work to help raise awareness of OIP in the community and increase the publicity of OIP’s successes and mission. With the help of volunteer consultants, Board members have revised OIP's mission, vision and values, as well as developed a strategic plan that identifies specific objectives, goals, strategies and measures for the organization.
