Chapter Committees

More information and contacts coming soon!

Joining a committee is a great way to get involved in ACC-GA! Here is a brief listing of our chapter committees and contacts for each committee.

 


 

The Career Enhancement Committee of ACC-Georgia Chapter was formed in 2006 and is dedicated to assisting counsel in all aspects of their career path, focusing on topics which are all pertinent to in-house lawyers' careers at some point.   The committee focuses on three main areas:

1.   In Transition:  Resources and programs specifically for in-house attorneys who want to leave or have left a position and are looking for a new one. 

2.   Developing your legal career where you are:  What in-house attorneys need to know about to grow their career within their current organization.

3.   New to In-house:  For attorneys who have just gone in-house for the first time.
