After completing a nationwide search, The Appalachian Research and Defense Fund of Kentucky (AppalRed) has selected Cynthia Elliott as its new Executive Director, making her the first-ever African-American leader of a Kentucky legal services program.

 
 

Elliott led AppalRed’s Breathitt County office from 1990 to 2001 before going to work for Kentucky’s Department of Public Advocacy. She later served as Managing Attorney for Advocates for Basic Legal Equality, a non-LSC funded legal services program serving 32 northwest and western Ohio counties.
