OUR SPEAKER:

Mary Tatum

Born and raised on the California coast, Mary Tatum grew up in a family defined by integrity, hard work and compassion for others. Higher education was valued but largely out of reach. Despite daunting financial challenges, Mary graduated from California Lutheran University and completed her law degree at Ventura College of Law. She joined the District Attorney’s Office in Ventura County, where she worked for 8 years before proceeding to Monterey County and a similar position with the DA’s office there for an additional 21 years.

She managed difficult case types including domestic violence, assaults, gang cases, preliminary hearings, motions court and jury trials and earned a reputation as a tough, tenacious lawyer who never gave up. Over the course of her career as a prosecutor, Mary learned much about the legal system, how trials work (and can be avoided) and how lawyers manage both sides of the courtroom. She won case after case.

In 2021, Mary was ready for a new challenge. She moved to SLO County and a defense lawyer practice, where she now helps people facing serious legal challenges. The Mary Tatum Law Group is anchored by Mary and supported by a detail-focused team of staff members. The Mary Tatum Law Group brings insight and a fierce belief in fairness and kindness to everything it does, all under the leadership of a straight-talking, no-nonsense professional who gets the job done.

OUR SPEAKER:

Dr. Nancy Arrington

Dr. Nancy Arrington is an Associate Professor of Political Science at Cal Poly, SLO. She holds a PhD in Political Science from Emory University, a MIP from the University of Georgia, and a B.A. from the University of Texas at Austin. Dr. Arrington's research addresses how political institutions shape prospects for the inclusion and incorporation of women and minority officials, both in the United States and cross-nationally. In her dissertation project, she explains how institutional selection mechanisms condition three steps required for gender diversification on peak courts. Specifically, selection institutions shape the citizenry’s ability to (1) make inferences about whether or not gender bias occurs in the selection process, (2) identify the people or person responsible for perceived bias, and (3) hold those responsible for bias accountable.

OUR SPEAKER:

June McIvor

June McIvor was first introduced to Title IX in junior high school. She had been dismayed to discover there was no girls’ soccer team at her high school; her P.E. teacher set her on a 4-year journey that would result in June co-captaining the first ever varsity girls’ soccer team at New Canaan High School in Connecticut.

She received her undergraduate degree from Vassar College and, maybe influenced by her experience with law in high school, her law degree from the University of Virginia. June began her legal career as an associate at the Los Angeles law firm of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, where she specialized in real estate issues, leveraged buyouts, and corporate acquisitions.

Taking what was supposed to be a 2-year leave of absence from the firm, June joined the organizing committee for World Cup USA 1994, hailed as the most successful World Cup ever, as Vice President of Legal Affairs. She never did go back to the law firm. In her subsequent role as General Counsel of Major League Soccer (MLS), June was a member of the founding team that launched the premier professional men’s soccer league in the U.S. The league’s groundbreaking single entity structure required June’s legal oversight of, and counsel to, the league and all ten teams.

June next served as Chief Operating Officer for the 1999 FIFA Women’s World Cup Organizing Committee – a dream come true. She was intimately involved with every aspect of the tournament, from filling the stadiums for the largest women’s sporting event in history to making “Women’s World Cup” a household phrase. Her particular focus was on business and legal operations: negotiating major corporate and sponsorship partnerships for the Committee, shaping marketing and ticketing strategy, negotiating stadium leases, and managing the seven venues across the country which staged Women’s World Cup games in 1999. She also oversaw the championship venue in 2003.

After moving to San Luis Obispo in 2003, she was a partner in the law firm of Sinsheimer Juhnke McIvor & Stroh; she is now President & CEO of Tolosa winery. June lives in San Luis Obispo with her husband, Duane Hall, and their daughter, Kaylie.
