June 18, 2020—Sharon Brown and Dena DeFazio, both attorneys at Barclay Damon, have been appointed to the New York State Bar Association’s Committee on Diversity and Inclusion.

Brown, a partner, concentrates her practice on the federal tax treatment of tax-exempt bond financings and serves as bond counsel, underwriters’ counsel, and special-tax counsel.

DeFazio, an associate, focuses her practice on regulatory and compliance issues in the health care industry and on health care-related litigation and administrative proceedings.
