ABOUT ACC-MEMBERSHIP DUES
On the local level, your Chapter is often the primary contact for many ACC members. You are often the first representative of ACC that members interact with after they join. As Chapter leader, ACC seeks and relies on your assistance to provide personal outreach and serve as a volunteer representative and liaison on ACC's behalf. Your Chapter makes a difference in the way in-house counsel view the organization by enhancing the value of ACC membership and demonstrating through Chapter activities why an in-house attorney should join.
Eligibility
