ACC has some very exciting news to share:
President Obama Intends to Nominate Association of Corporate Counsel Chair Ivan Fong as U.S. Department of Homeland Security General Counsel
Washington, D.C. (January 30, 2009) — The Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC) congratulates Ivan K. Fong, ACC Chair and Chief Legal Officer & Secretary for Cardinal Health, Inc., on the recent intention by President Obama to nominate him as General Counsel for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
“We congratulate Ivan on this outstanding honor,” says ACC President Frederick J. Krebs. “He is an outstanding lawyer and strong leader which will serve him well as he faces the many challenges that lie ahead. ACC’s loss will be our country’s gain.” Since Mr. Fong will step down as ACC Chair upon confirmation by the U.S. Senate, the ACC Board of Directors will meet to designate a successor.
“By all means, this is a bittersweet moment. I am humbled to receive word of the intention to nominate me for such a role with the DHS and I thank ACC for all of its support,” explained ACC Chair Ivan K. Fong. “This is a very exciting time and I am looking forward to the challenges that lie ahead.”
Mr. Fong has been a member of the ACC Central Ohio Chapter since 2005, and was previously a member of the Westchester/Southern Connecticut (WESFACCA) Chapter. He has served as a member of the ACC Board of Directors since 2004.
