This week at EDC's 52nd Annual Dinner, we were honored to officially welcome Janice Brown as EDC's new board chair. After two years of leadership, Jim Zortman, retired Northrop Grumman executive and EDC chair since 2016, symbolically 'passed the gavel' to Janice.
Having served as an EDC board member for eight years, Janice has helped guide the organization's priorities and is well-equipped to lead EDC's inclusive growth and #SDlifechanging efforts, among other intitiatives. And she'll do so with more energy and class than we could hope for.

She is known for her professional distinctions as well as her commitment to the community with over 30 years as a trial lawyer with significant trial, arbitration, and appellate experience.

Her distinguished career includes receiving the Department of Justice “Outstanding Trial Attorney” Award in 1987. Ms. Brown is rated AV®-PreeminentTM by Martindale and has been recognized as a Super Lawyer since 2007.
