ACC TN & Silver Sponsor Chambliss Law invite you to join us for a Social & Networking Event

Description:

Join us for an evening of networking at Oddstory Brewing Co.: The Greenhouse Barrel + Taproom. Drinks and hors d'oeuvres will be served.

ACC TN members, as well as any in-house attorneys interested in learning more about ACC TN, are encouraged to join us for a fun evening of networking and Shuffleboard & Darts.

Important Notes:

Please join anytime between 5:30 PM and 7:00 PM for drinks, hors d’oeuvres, and networking.

It is important to understanding how demands for greater remote work flexibility reflect issues unique to different segments of the work force. Now more than ever, employers must evaluate how viewpoints differ based on generation, race, and gender, among other identities, and seek to cultivate positive work environments that embrace these different experiences to reduce legal risk and support DEI initiatives. Join Jackson Lewis P.C. attorneys to discuss the emergent legal, cultural and practical challenges facing employers today and what the future of the workplace holds.

Topics

• Key legal issues emerging from hybrid workplaces
• Developing your environmental, social and governance (ESG) policies
• Implementing or modifying plans that address where and when work will be performed 
  • How these policies and plans create a positive impact on recruitment and retention
• The importance of DEI assessments and informed programming to cultivate positive work environments 
• Frameworks for creating a productive, flexible and inclusive workplace

Felice Edelman, Principal, Jackson Lewis P.C.

Skip the dog park and come to Nationals Park. Please join the ACC NCR Community Service Committee for a unique and fun outing to bring your dog to a Nationals game for a good cause. You and your dog will both get to enjoy the game with other dogs and dog lovers from seats in our pet-friendly outfield reserved section. All proceeds from the dog ticket sales will be donated to the Humane Rescue Alliance. Upon arrival at Pups in the Park you’ll receive a Dogs Rule Bandana as a thank you from the PEDIGREE Foundation. If you like baseball but your dog doesn’t, you are still welcome and encouraged to join us, but you will be seated in the “dog friendly” section.

Tickets are $35 per person and $10 per dog, and will likely be in sections 136-143. ACC NCR members that purchase through Trevor Mann with the Washington Nationals, will be seated together (more information sent when you register). You must purchase by August 9, 2023. Members will be responsible for purchasing their own tickets via instructions included in your confirmation. You need to have a dog ticket for each dog you bring with you to Nats Park. Dogs without a ticket to the game will not be allowed entry.

Attorney Geoff Thorne will present on an employer’s “best practices” for responding to internal workplace complaints raised by workers (and, in a limited context, third-parties).  Geoff will cover the risk mitigation procedures that employers should follow when conducting a workplace investigation from the intake of a complaint through the ultimate determination, and everything in between – including guidelines for interviewing the parties and percipient witnesses, record-keeping tips, and how to effectively implement interim relief.  He will also highlight the common missteps that employers make during the investigative process, which inevitably results in litigation that could otherwise have been avoided.  The seminar will be beneficial to employers of any size – whether your workforce numbers 1 or 10,000.  (1 MCLE General credit)

Geoff Thorne, Partner, Higgs Fletcher & Mack
