John Nonna, the former Mayor of Pleasantville, New York, has been named as the co-chair of the board of directors and trustees of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, according to the Pleasantville Daily Voice.

There are more than 200 members on the board, all of whom will be led by Nonna and Donald J. Rosenberg. Rosenberg is the executive vice president, general counsel and corporate security for Qualcomm, Inc.

“Mr. Nonna brings a wealth of experience to our board,” said Barbara Arnwine, Lawyers’ Committee president and executive director. “His commitment to equality and justice, paired with his leadership skills and invaluable perspectives, will be instrumental in our future work and growth. Since joining the Lawyers’ Committee’s board in 2007 he has been actively involved and dedicated to the advancement of our critical mission.”

Nonna has argued cases on the behalf of the Lawyers’ Committee in the past. He is a fighter for racial justice and civil rights.



Nonna is also the co-manager for the New York office of Squire Patton Boggs. Nonna is a fellow with the American College of Trial Lawyers. He is also on the board of directors for Westchester Community College and the AIDA Reinsurance and Insurance Arbitration Society.

“The Lawyers’ Committee’s is an incredible organization,” Nonna said. “ I am honored to serve alongside Don Rosenberg as co-chair of the Lawyers’ Committee in fulfilling President John F. Kennedy’s 1963 request to marshal the private bar's leadership and pro bono resources in combating racial discrimination and the resulting inequality of opportunity -- work that continues to be vital today.”

Nonna earned his law degree from New York University School of Law and his undergraduate degree from Princeton University. Nonna also belongs to multiple legal bar associations. He has been the recipient of multiple accolades from industry publications and other organizations throughout his career.
