This year several programs had very high registration numbers of 100. In addition, she added many first-time initiatives with the overall goal of making the successes sustainable through strategic planning and goal setting. Dawn was also very active with the Financial Services Committee in identifying and interviewing sponsors and coordinating programming. 1.

CLO Roundtables and Local Chapter Events f. Communication Plan for Annual and Mid-Year Meetings 2. Strategic Plan and Succession Plan The Committee leadership is relatively new and the Committee did not have a Committee sponsor this year. The committee did not have a pipeline so the executive leaders took these positions as their first roles on the committee. To get the leadership to the next level, Dawn remained as Chair for a 2nd year, and created a Strategic Plan with goals and defined objectives to expand the resources for the committee. To kick-off the Committees activities, Dawn identified the need to have a “State of the Committee” Report at the 2016 Annual Meeting Committee Lunch to Kick-off the Program. As part of the succession plan, Dawn worked with new leader Raghu Nandan, Secretary, to present an objective benchmarking Committee Report to present to the Committee membership at 2016’s Annual Meeting Committee Luncheon. The Report served as tool to initiate a discussion on best practices for serving the membership. It also now serves as a benchmarking tool and foundation for measuring the success of the programs. She also guided the leadership to create a succession plan. Over the last few months we worked to identify, secure, and cultivate volunteers to work with each leadership role for redundancy and to create a pipeline to keep the committee work proceeding after her leadership. In chairing the Dawn Haghighi Nomination Page 5 of 10 monthly leadership calls, Dawn focusses the committee on the key goal of making the initiatives sustainable and long term, keeping calls efficient and effective. 3. Leadership Development As part of her commitment to developing the next cadre of leaders within ACC, Dawn worked closely with Darryl Austin, Elena Antonetti, Erik Lindberg, and me to mentor them into our present leadership positions with ACC. Under Dawn’s mentorship, Darryl successfully co-moderated multiple presentations at 2016 Annual Meeting, developed a template for meeting minutes, and was the creative force behind our newsletter. Elena pursued forms and resources with dogged enthusiasm, building a library from scratch. Erik created a template for welcoming new members and pursuing increase in membership.

Now, investors say Rothenberg's big name will draw customers to his new bank, which caters to lawyers. By Amy K. Spees Law firms that decide to carry their bundles of cash over to 1st Century Bank aren't just getting a financial institution that caters to attorneys. They're putting their money into Los Angeles legal luminary Alan I. Rothenberg, the face behind the newly opened bank. Rothenberg, chairman of 1st Century, is the co-founder of Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, one of Los Angeles' prestigious law firms, and a creator of modern-day Major League Soccer. He's a former head of the State Bar and a past partner at megafirm Latham & Watkins. "There are very few people that could run a soccer league, run an Olympics, be a major player in a major law firm and then start a bank," says Thomas Girardi of Girardi & Keese. "Alan is an exceptional human being." Rothenberg is the force behind the new bank, which aims to fill a niche for lawyers and law firms that banking experts say is neglected. "He's got a huge base in the community of people who know and respect him," says Mike Hennigan of Hennigan, Bennett & Dorman, a bank investor. "If anyone will be able to build a bank out of this community, it's Alan Rothenberg." Rothenberg has been off to a good start.
