 MANAGEMENT
Dawn Friedkin
Chief Operating Officer

Dawn's first Classic job, at the age of 11, was "traying up" frames during the
summer. As the daughter of the owners, it was obvious that child labor laws did not apply.
More than 25 years later, Dawn manages
the Classic Team. She draws on her
years of experience from both the public and private sectors and her
business and legal education. Prior to returning to Classic, Dawn
worked in various public sector positions in Washington, D.C. and
Paris, France focusing on intergovernmental affairs, consumer protection,
and electronic commerce.
Dawn holds a bachelor of science
degree from the A.B. Freeman School of Business at Tulane University
and a juris doctor from George Washington University Law School.
