The Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC) is the world's largest organization serving the professional and business interests of attorneys who practice in the legal departments of corporations, associations, nonprofits and other private-sector organizations around the globe.
Please join the Association for Corporate Counsel – Georgia Chapter for a productive discussion on the business outlook under the incoming Trump administration and the 119th Congress, featuring insights from Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, including representatives from the esteemed Washington-based lobbying & public policy practice and the Dallas-based Investment Management practice.
With control of the House, Senate, White House, our speaker panel will examine how these results are likely to shape the legislative and regulatory landscape in the year ahead. The discussion will provide a forward-looking analysis of the implications of the GOP sweep and what businesses can expect in 2025, including tax reform, the deregulatory agenda and corporate governance.
The session will delve into the intersection of law, politics, and business, focusing on how post-election outcomes may influence regulatory policies, judicial appointments, and major legal developments. Our panel of experienced legal and policy professionals will offer strategic insights into the new political environment’s potential impact on corporate governance, legislative priorities, and the broader regulatory framework.
Raise your glass to global diversity! Please join the ACC NCR DEI Leadership Development Committee, ACC NCR AAPI Affinity Group, and the Asian Pacific American Bar Association of the Greater Washington, D.C. Area (APABA-DC) for a Virtual International Diversity Happy Hour, where we’ll take a flavorful journey through the art and history of mixology. This interactive experience will feature:
Pre-Mix Cocktails: Celebrate the rich heritage of two iconic cocktails from two different countries (outside the U.S.) with specially curated pre-mix recipes that you can easily create at home. One of our featured cocktails will be the Singapore Sling, chosen to honor the vibrant festivities and cultural traditions of the Lunar New Year which this year falls on January 29, a celebration deeply rooted in many Asian cultures. The other will be the popular Brazilian Caipirinha!
Live Bartender Demonstration: Watch a talented mixologist, Nicholle Pitera, craft the Brazilian Caipirinha from scratch, showcasing expert techniques and sharing insider tips on recreating this refreshing treat at home. (If you’re doing Dry January or don’t drink, not to worry! We’ll give you tips on how to convert these to mocktails!)
Cultural Insights: Our program facilitators will dive into the stories behind these featured cocktails, exploring their origins, and cultural significance, along with a few fun facts about global celebrations like the Lunar New Year.
Get Ready to Mix Along! To make the event even more engaging, if you’d like to join in on the fun, we invite you to purchase a cocktail mixer kit for the featured drinks. You can:
Purchase individual ingredients: For those who wish to mix and create your own beverage during the virtual happy hour, we will send recipes to registered attendees.
Create and bring your own: Grab your own personal favorite libations and participate in the festivities that way!
