Save the Date for the Legal Services Intake Staff Mini Conference
Legal Services State Support is excited to announce a statewide mini conference: Opening Doors: Strengthening the Work and Wellness of Intake Staff. This one-day conference will take place on Friday, November 14, 2025, at the offices of Fredrikson & Byron in downtown Minneapolis, MN.
This first-of-its-kind statewide gathering is dedicated to the vital role of intake workers—the front line of our legal aid organizations. Intake staff don’t just screen cases, they offer empathy, clarity, and access to justice in moments of real need. This conference is designed to honor that work while providing tools and connections to support it.
State Support is delighted to welcome Mike Millios as the opening plenary speaker of the conference. Millios is a lawyer and a nationally recognized facilitator and coach, known for his work with frontline professionals navigating high-stress environments. His session will ground the day in reflection, resilience, and renewed purpose.
Throughout the day, participants will engage in:
Substantive legal and strategic training tailored for the intake context,
Time to connect with peers from across the state, and
Space to reflect on and celebrate the hard, often invisible work intake staff do every day.
Stay tuned to State Support’s blog for more information about Mike Millios, session topics, and registration details coming early this fall.
