The principal criteria include a demonstrated commitment to the association and/or being a recognized leader in the profession. As always, we seek a diverse candidate pool, and consider a variety of factors:

The type of organization represented (e.g., public/private, market capitalization, for-profit/non-profit)
Size of legal department
Practice concentration and/or industry experience
Geographic representation to reflect the breadth of the association membership
International experience (such as living and/or working outside of the United States or managing global staff or issues)
Independence, objectivity, and capability of serving as a representative of the association as a whole, irrespective of prior or current practice network or chapter affiliations.

All Board candidates must also be willing to commit and have sufficient time and employer support to discharge the duties of Board membership, including travel to and from ACC Board meetings.

The Nominating Committee will determine a final slate of nominees for election by the Board of Directors at the October 2026 Board meeting.
