Chad T. Sarchio, the immediate past president of the D.C. Bar, spoke to an appreciative group of AMHS members and guests on February 12, 2023, at Il Canale restaurant in Georgetown, describing his legal career and his Italian-American upbringing.

Following a delicious lunch, Chad spoke to about 25 attendees on how his own values were shaped by his family’s emphasis on public service, given that his parents were both teachers and one of his grandfathers served in the military during World War II near Anzio. He told us about growing up in northern New Jersey where there were many more Italian Americans than in the Washington, D.C. area.
