In a world where names are an essential part of one’s
identity, mispronunciation can often lead to feelings of
invisibility. In honor of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and
Pacific Islander Heritage Month, Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney
recently hosted an engaging panel discussion on the importance of
name pronunciation, within the context of Asian American culture
and heritage. This event explored the significance of correctly
pronouncing names and its role in fostering inclusivity and respect
in both personal and professional spheres.

Moderated by Buchanan’s Chief Diversity & Inclusion
Officer, Lloyd Freeman, the program featured, Yaqi Wo, Global Product Manager, PPG, and Minji
Kim, Associate, Buchanan. Opening remarks were provided by Victoria
Bechtold Kush, Shareholder, Buchanan.
