On the evening of April 11, 2019, Venable hosted a reception in the DC office, featuring keynote speaker Jon Meacham, a renowned presidential biographer and historian. The cherry blossom-themed event was attended by a sizable audience of Venable alumni, from as far away as Florida, and many of our mid-Atlantic colleagues. Not only was Jon a fascinating and thoughtful speaker; he also wowed the crowd with his razor-sharp sense of humor. The reception was a terrific networking event and a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with our former colleagues.
