Dana Gold is the Director of the Center on Corporations, Law and Society at Seattle University School of Law. From 1995 to 2002, she worked as an attorney with and then Director of Operations of the Government Accountability Project (GAP), a national non-profit organization founded in 1977 that promotes government and corporate accountability through advancing occupational free speech and ethical conduct and providing legal and advocacy assistance to whistleblowers. Professor Gold’s former legal practice focused primarily on litigation within GAP's Environmental and Nuclear Oversight Programs, representing whistleblowers who suffered retaliation for disclosing fraud and serious threats to public health, safety, and the environment on the Trans-Alaskan pipeline, at several Superfund sites, and at contractor-operated nuclear facilities such as Hanford in eastern Washington, Rocky Flats near Denver, Colorado, Lawrence Livermore in northern California, and Los Alamos in northern New Mexico. She is a frequent panelist and speaker on whistleblowing and whistleblower protection at Continuing Legal Education programs, law firms, and universities.
