Martha Receives Partner in Justice Award
Posted on Nov 03 2016
In October, Legal Services of Northwest Minnesota awarded ILCM staff Martha Castañon their Partner in Justice Award to recognize her incredible career of public service.
The Partner in Justice Award celebrates Martha as a “skilled, dedicated advocate who, through extraordinary service and achievement, has made a major impact on the lives of many.”
One year ago, ILCM hired Martha Castañon to open a new ILCM office in Moorhead. She has lived and worked in Moorhead for most of her life, and brings a wealth of community connections to her position at ILCM. She spends much of her time conducting outreach across the northwest region, and has connected with clients in Bemidji, Thief River Falls, and East Grand Forks. She also makes biweekly visits to Crookston, Minnesota.
Martha currently serves on the Board of Directors of Community Health Services, Inc. in Moorhead, volunteers with the local chapter of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, and is a member of the Minnesota Supreme Court Committee for Equality and Justice. Congratulations on your most recent award, Martha!
