The Association of Corporate Counsel was busy at its recent annual meeting—so busy, in fact, that it didn’t announce that its board had elected a new chair. Though Pat Hatler was picked as the board’s new leader during ACC’s October meeting, the in-house bar group didn’t put out the news till the following week.

Hatler, the chief legal and governance officer at Columbus-based Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company, has been an ACC director since 2005. She replaces Dan Fitz, who had been the board’s head since January, when previous chair Ivan Fong resigned. President Barack Obama nominated Fong, the general counsel at Dublin, Ohio–based Cardinal Health, Inc., to be GC for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Fong had to leave ACC because he was switching from the private to the public sector, according to ACC president Fred Krebs. Fitz, the GC at London-based Misys plc, will continue to serve as an ACC director.
