Joint Decisions: Managing Marijuana in the Workplace

As employers continue to wrestle with multi state compliance issues, the rise of state marijuana legalization laws have provided yet another challenge for employers to navigate. Join us to discuss the ever evolving nature of workplace marijuana issues, including the state of legalization laws and separate but related issues such as disability discrimination/accommodation, workplace safety, and off duty conduct considerations. We will also discuss the topic from a local and regional viewpoint, with an emphasis on the looming challenges for southeastern and Georgia employers.

We are pleased to announce the establishment of the new DC Advisory Committee formed to respond to interests for a strong and vibrant ACC in-house network and related activities specific to Washington DC. 

The DC Advisory Committee’s mission is to establish programming and engagement for ACC NCR members in DC and strengthen and advocate for the DC in-house community. 

Please join us for a micro-networking lunch hosted by this newly formed committee. Join us to learn more or socialize and enjoy lunch with other ACC NCR members in the area. 

Attendance will be capped to ensure good conversation. Please check your schedule before registering as hosts will be expecting you!

Attendees will pay for their own meals. Please bring cash to make it easier for the servers.

Are you considering what the next step or transition in your career journey might look like? Join us for an insightful discussion among a panel of current and former in-house counsel who will share their experiences and what it takes to become an effective business partner with a seat at the table. The panelists will discuss their individual careers and lessons learned from various career transitions.

There is something for every level of in-house lawyer in this program. We will address the critical skills needed for successful transitions when you first move in-house from private practice or the government; as your career progresses in-house; and if you desire to move into a business role at your company.
