What is former Attorney General Janet Reno's current job or position?

The last I heard, she ran for governor of Florida in 2002.

After her unsuccessful 2002 bid for the Democratic nomination for
Governor of Florida, Janet Reno declared her political career to be at
an end. Although she was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 1995,
she is active in numerous causes, and has traveled across the United
States speaking on issues related to wrongful conviction, judicial
reform, and national security. She lives in south Florida, and has
been known to drive herself to speaking engagements in a red pickup
truck.

"After returning to Florida, Reno ran unsuccessfully for the
Democratic nomination for Governor. She afterwards declared the effort
the end of her political career.

Today she devotes her time to numerous causes: children's issues;
preservation of the Everglades and other environmental concerns; and
the prevention of conviction of the innocent, and exoneration of those
wrongly convicted, through the use of DNA testing."

Can you clarify how she's "active in many causes"?  Is she involved
with organizations, or anything like that?  Or does she only make
speaking appearances and not do anything else?

I have found mention of only one "cause" in which Ms. Reno serves in
an official capacity for an organized group.

Ms. Reno is an active participant in the Wrongful Convictions Project,
and has served on several panels related to this organization:

"The University of Miami Wrongful Convictions Project sponsors Janet
Reno and several exonerated prisoners to discuss what the State?s
Attorney can do to avoid wrongful convictions and life after
exoneration.

Coral Gables, FL (October 24, 2003)-Former U.S. Attorney General Janet
Reno, currently an adjunct professor at the University of Miami School
of Law, will be giving a presentation on Wednesday, October 29th which
will give procedures to avoid wrongful convictions."

Ms Reno's involvement with the Wrongful Convictions Project grew from
her apppointment as a "visiting senior fellow" at the University of
Miami School of Law. This is a volunteer position.

"A year after her failed bid for governor of Florida, former U.S.
Attorney General Janet Reno has taken a visiting appointment at the
law school's Center for Ethics and Public Service.

Founded in 1996, the center provides ethics training to the business
and legal community. It also performs such services as health care
rights education and economic development training to low-income
communities... During her one-year appointment as a visiting senior
fellow, which started last month and is a volunteer position, Reno is
assisting the center's criminal justice ethics training with
prosecutors' and public defenders' offices and with the criminal
justice bar, said Anthony V. Alfieri, director of the center. He said
Reno is also active in developing a program at the law school
patterned after the New York-based Innocence Project, which is at the
center of the current effort to extend the DNA testing deadline for
prisoners and reviews cases in which DNA testing may exonerate
convicts."
