President Obama has nominated Ivan Fong, chief legal officer & secretary for Cardinal Health, as general counsel for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

Fong, Association of Corporate Counsel Chair, has been a member of the ACC Central Ohio Chapter since 2005, and was previously a member of the Westchester/Southern Connecticut Chapter. He has served as a member of the ACC Board of Directors since 2004.

Since 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.
