Thank You to 2002 ACC STL Sponsors

By: Denise Campbell Whitener,

2022 ACC STL Sponsorship Chairperson, and Senior Lead Counsel, Wells Fargo

As the 2022 Sponsorship Chairperson, my committee and I would like to recognize

and thank the 2022 ACC STL sponsors. It is because of their support that as

members we have strong CLE programs, a dynamic annual Corporate Counsel

Institute (CCI), and great networking opportunities.

We decided to have the event at the Third Degree Glass Factory because we felt the atmosphere would be exciting and encourage engagement amongst our sponsors and members. Many of our sponsors confirmed their renewal at the time of the event and shortly thereafter, which was exciting! We are proud of the strong partnerships that we have with our sponsors, and always seek to further enhance those relationships.

ACC St. Louis FUR/FEATHER BABIES!

Owner:

Chris Wittenauer, General Counsel, Peabody

What is your pet's name?

Tater Tot

How did you get your pet?

My daughter and I had talked about getting chickens for a while (mostly her trying to talk me into it). We went to a Rural King to pick some out and when I waivered my daughter said “Daddy, it’s go time!” We got five.

What is the funniest/most memorable thing that your pet has done?

They (mostly) stay in the back yard but one day Tater Tot decided to go on a bit of a field trip. She walked up the steps, onto the deck and right up to the door and looked around.

What is the best thing about your pet?

As I remind my wife, unlike our dogs, this pet

actually contributes to the family by providing eggs.

We get 4-5 a day
