Ralph Dado Moderates "Defensible OEHS Leadership" Session at Invitation-Only CEE26

07.01.26

On Sunday, May 31, Aronberg Goldgehn Partner and Chair of the White Collar Investigations, Risk & Integrity group Ralph Dado participated in Connect Executive Exchange ’26 (CEE26), an invitation-only workshop in New Orleans, LA jointly hosted by the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) and the What Works Institute. CEE26 brought together safety and risk leaders, practitioners, and researchers across industry segments for a series of focused discussion sessions oriented around the themes of Data, Measurement & Evidence; Governance, Risk & Decision Rights; Adoption, Scale & Change; Trust, Culture & the Business Case; and Skills & the Human-Tech Interface. In addition to participating in the overall workshop, Dado moderated the session on “Defensible OEHS Leadership.”

“Ralph’s presence at CEE26, and especially his moderation of the Defensible OEHS Leadership session, demonstrates how seriously companies and their leadership teams are taking the connection between their risk management and safety activities and the regulatory and enforcement environments they operate in,” said Aronberg Co-Chair Elizabeth Lazzara. “Ralph brings unusual depth at the intersection of safety, risk, crisis management, enforcement, and governance, and public and private companies are responding to it through the white collar group’s safety and risk practice.”

CEE26 was designed to move beyond the traditional, large-format conference presentation approach to place individuals with significant expertise in safety, quality, and risk in structured, small-group conversations to identify specific problems and develop practical solutions both on the “human” and “tech” sides. The workshop was the product of a partnership between the AIHA and What Works Institute.
