Horace G. Dawson III, division general counsel of Darden Restaurants Inc., was invited to serve on a GC panel in Atlanta recently for the Leadership Institute for Women of Color Attorneys. An African-American man, he sat with two African-American female in-house lawyers and one white male lawyer speaking on the topic, “Finding your niche in the corporate world.”
The audience listened intently, but they could not have guessed the richness of the diversity woven into Dawson’s background. He told some of his story in a follow-up interview.
