WASHINGTON, D.C. ─ The Minority Corporate Counsel Association, Inc. (MCCA) will honor three of the nation’s leading corporate legal departments and spotlight a law firm with diversity awards at its Mid-Atlantic Region Diversity Dinner on June 15 at the JW Marriott in Washington, D.C.

Accepting the awards on behalf of their legal departments will be Steve Gannon, Deputy General Counsel and Executive Vice President for Capital One; Daniel Troy, Senior Vice President and General Counsel for GlaxoSmithKline; and Kirk Emge Senior Vice President and General Counsel for Pepco Holdings.

 

The Mid-Atlantic Region offices of Crowell & Moring LLP was chosen to receive the Thomas L. Sager Award, named in honor of Thomas L.
