In The News

Vann & Sheridan Attorneys at Law proudly announce Attorney Chad Cochran graduated from the Greater Raleigh Chamber of Commerce’s Leadership Raleigh program. He was also selected by his peers to be on the Alumni Board for Leadership Raleigh. Mr. Cochran has been a part of our firm for over three years.

Mr. Cochran and his Leadership Raleigh team members partnered with the Inter-Faith Food Shuttle to develop a showcase community garden in the downtown Raleigh area. The project’s goal is to obtain access to city-owned land and build a garden which will be used to provide fresh fruits and vegetables to local food shelters. Chad and his team members met with dozens of public and private leaders to address this public need. City Council petitions and resolutions are pending.

Cochran joins Managing Partner, James Vann in graduating this program. We plan to have many others from our firm participate in such a rewarding experience. Leadership Raleigh is a nine-month program that emphasizes teamwork, community involvement and enhancing leadership skills.
