Who's up for a small-group member meetup for lunch this Friday? As part of our ongoing partnership with the Center for Health & Wellbeing in Winter Park, ACC Central Florida has reserved seating for this hands-on Food as Medicine cooking class!

Join Allison Harnell, registered dietitian nutritionist, and Dr. Anu Saigal, an AdventHealth breast surgical oncologist, for an engaging cooking class designed to explore Food as Medicine. 

Learn how to read and understand food labels, discover strategies for making healthier choices, and explore the role of nutrition in supporting long-term wellness after cancer or as part of your cancer prevention diet.

Seating for this event is limited. A waitlist will be established if capacity is reached.

HUB’s Adrian Atilano and Russell Watts, together with insurance coverage attorney Michael Rossi, will outline what makes a D&O program truly “best-in-class.” Tailored for in-house counsels at both privately held and publicly traded companies, this session will provide practical insights into: 

• 2026 litigation trends – and their impact on directors and officers
• Program structure – including Side A Match and Excess/DIC Side A coverage
• Critical wording considerations – ensuring optimal protection for directors, officers, and the company
• Ways to capture pricing relief and expand coverage in today’s evolving market
• Analytics-driven guidance – on limits, retentions, and the right balance of Side ABC vs. Side A coverage

Are you truly thriving in your legal career, or just striving to keep up? Are you pondering a path to more contentment in 

your career?

This casual panel discussion will explore the challenges and rewards of practicing law—with a focus on resilience, harmony, and fulfillment, especially for women attorneys and their allies.

Our moderator is executive coach Jill Cruz, PhD, PCC, who will guide a candid discussion with Erica Giese, Mary Brennan Stich, and Natsumi Covey—lawyers who bring diverse experiences, unique career paths, and personal stories along with practical strategies for finding more harmony, more alignment of our work with personal values, and more energy in our careers, regardless of your level of experience.

This important discussion is for all of us.
