Notable members include former corporate General Counsels and Chief Compliance Officers, as well as former prosecutors and high ranking government officials. WWCDA promotes the common business and professional interests of women attorneys who specialize in the representation of corporations, other organizations and individuals facing government enforcement actions (criminal, civil, regulatory, and administrative), and in internal investigations, compliance and ethics matters.
