Please join us for the ACC-NYC Chapter’s first ever LGBTQIA+ Pride Month event, hosted by Meta!

This event features a 1-hour panel presentation by speakers from LGBTQIA+ advocacy organizations, Meta’s LGBTQIA+ ERG, and other corporate counsel. The presentation will be followed by a 1-hour celebratory / networking hour where Pride themed cocktails and food will be served.  

The goals for this event are to:

1. Provide an overview of recent legal wins and challenges impacting the LGBTQIA+ community;
2. Address best practices that companies and in-house counsel can adopt to foster LGBTQIA+ inclusion and belonging in the workplace; and,
3. Create connections and build community among LGBTQIA+ in-house attorneys in NYC.

We look forward to seeing you there!
