PHILADELPHIA — Vivian D. Wesson, Executive Vice President and General Counsel of The Board of Pensions of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), has been admitted to the U.S. Supreme Court Bar. She is the first Board of Pensions executive to achieve this professional honor.
Wesson, also agency Corporate Secretary, joined the Board of Pensions three years ago from Marsh & McLennan Companies Inc., where she was Chief Intellectual Property Counsel. In more than 16 years with the global professional services firm, she held other leadership roles in key areas such as mergers and acquisitions, compliance, reinsurance and strategic investments.
Since joining the agency’s Executive Team in 2022, Wesson has strengthened operations in the critical areas of corporate governance and risk management. A noted legal expert on artificial intelligence, she has presented frequently on the topic to other lawyers, law students, and the Church Benefits Association.
Wesson is a member of the Executive Committee of the New York State Bar Association, an out-of-state delegate to the NYSBA House of Delegates, Chair of its Committee on Artificial Intelligence and Emerging Technologies, Vice Chair of its Committee on Membership, and immediate past Chair of its Committee on Attorney Professionalism. She is a graduate of Fordham University School of Law, Pomona College, and Phillips Exeter Academy.
In addition to practicing before the high court, members of the U.S. Supreme Court Bar gain access to a network of fellow legal professionals.
