Alumnus Named CMA Commissioner

GW Law recognizes Najem AL Zaid, SJD '10, who was recently appointed by a Royal Order as a Commissioner and Board Member of The Capital Market Authority (CMA) in Saudi Arabia. As the equivalent of the Securities and Exchange Commission in the United States, the CMA issues rules and regulations to develop the Saudi Arabian Capital Market. “Najem has been at the forefront of helping build capacity for the regulation of capital in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,” said Associate Dean Susan Karamanian (pictured). “We are delighted that the education he received at GW Law has helped play a part in his professional development, which has contributed so much to his country.”
