Diaz
The Hon. Nelson Diaz, former city solicitor of Philadelphia, was recently elected to the board of Exelon, a $15.8 billion energy concern. Diaz, who served as Philadelphia’s solicitor from December 2001 until his resignation last month, had previously been a partner with the law firm Blank Rome Comisky & McCauley. He also was appointed by President Clinton as general counsel for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, where he was involved in settling a backlog of 20 major civil rights cases valued at $6 billion. He joins an Exelon board that includes retired First Chicago NBD chairman Richard Thomas, retired U.S. Navy Admiral Bruce DeMars, and retired Sears Roebuck CEO Edward Brennan.
