Quarterly Vanguard Forum for General Counsels
This Forum was presented at the request of several of our GC members.
We worked on two critical challenges for 2021: how to turn DEI rhetoric into reality, and how to navigate the regulatory landscape and government relations under the new Biden administration.
Each session was led by fellow GCs with deep experience in the topic. Tom Sabatino was the Forum Chair.
