2022 ACC MI and H&H Header

 

Join ACC Michigan and Howard & Howard for the upcoming in-person event: Intellectual Property Brand Management on June 29, 2022 at the Birmingham Country Club from 4:00 - 6:00 PM.

Brand management requires strategic intellectual property law considerations in addition to business considerations. Howard & Howard representative Jake Grove's presentation will focus on  on some key considerations that arise in connection with any brand or any portfolio of brands as the business matures:

  • Getting involved early on with branding selections – working with the Marketing Department to adopt new brands
  • Strategic registration and maintenance, and weeding out unneeded registrations
  • Handling brand updates and refreshes with an eye toward optimizing priority and protection
  • Enforcement in the internet age, including enforcement on Amazon and other internet platforms including social media
  • Domain names
  • Addressing Counterfeiters
  • Addressing potential dilutive uses

The nature of political activity has changed dramatically. Unlike their predecessors, today's elected officials are likely to be self-made; less influenceable by traditional engagement; and extremely savvy about media and communication technology - with the ability to respond to news and events 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 

Join Derek Bruce and Nate Hill of Gunster for a timely discussion on:

  • Orienting your company' political engagement in a time where the slightest misstep can lead to crisis
  • How to avoid having your organization's business unintentionally ensnared in the next politically sensitive public exchange
  • What to do when your company is the target of politically motivated government action 

According to recent studies, women and people of color are less likely to have internal sponsors to guide their professional development and promotion within organizations.  This session will provide a road map for individuals to chart an effective path for personal professional development by a) focusing on self-awareness and competency development, b) soliciting critical performance feedback, and c) identifying creative options for building executive skills and professional networks.  

The session will be informed by the respected and insightful Birkman Method, a proprietary instrument to better understand interpersonal dynamics and achieve higher performance through positive psychology. This report provides you with the most robust understanding of who you are. There is no additional cost to ACC member registrants for this added value of an individual Birkman Signature report to learn more about your personal psychometrics and how they impact your professional development. If you register for this program and would like a personalized Birkman Signature report,
please email Miguell@theasterconsulting.com  
to request your individual survey prior to the session on July 27. The survey will take approximately twenty (20) minutes to complete, and it will take approximately one day or so to receive your personalized report. The speakers will discuss the Birkman method generally during the presentation to assist participants in interpreting their individual reports.  

 

Key Takeaways:

1. How to position yourself as high potential talent.

2. How to identify personal talent development needs through a lens of experience, competencies, and personal style.

3. How to build an effective individual development plan using training, coaching and experiential approaches.

4. How to be an effective sponsor for yourself and others, notwithstanding historical barriers to career mobility.

Cybersecurity threats and risks are increasing each day and companies are extremely cognizant of the critical issues involved - from making sure that company data complies with vigorous and ever-changing regulations, to dealing with cyber threats, breaches and ransomware attacks.

In an effort to collaborate, share and learn from one another, Baker McKenzie, along with the Association of Corporate Counsel New York City Chapter, invite you to join us for our inaugural Cybersecurity Symposium, a full day event at the Harvard Club in New York City, where we will discuss the foremost topics and trends in cybersecurity, hearing from a number of key players in the industry.

Former Manhattan District Attorney and Global Chair of Baker McKenzie's Cybersecurity Practice, Cyrus Vance, Jr. will lead thought-provoking discussions and be joined throughout the day by an illustrious panel of key influencers from the public and private sector as well as senior Baker McKenzie partners who specialize in privacy and cybersecurity.

Discussion topics will include:
  • Key local, national and international cybersecurity trends, including what's on the horizon with ransomware.
  • Changes to the regulatory and enforcement landscape, including the role of CISA given the new federal requirements for reporting cyber and ransomware matters.
  • Data protection trends in the US and abroad.
  • The life cycle of a cyber-attack, including cyber insurance, privacy notification obligations, investigations and disputes.
  • The importance of public/private partnerships in creating measurable solutions to decrease cyber risk.

We hope you will join us for this exciting, inaugural event.

As a result of the WFH reality brought upon by the COVID-19 pandemic, many employers are reevaluating their approach to mandatory work locations. Indeed, many businesses are considering hybrid and fully-remote work policies, including the opportunity to work “from anywhere”, whether temporarily or permanently.  These policies may be helpful tools to retain existing human capital and recruit new talent. However, any policy permitting cross-border employment should be accompanied by an analysis of the related employment law implications. This presentation will walk ACC Members through the issue-spotting process and some of the key considerations that arise in this scenario.

Use the red Register button to RSVP. The Zoom link will be provided with your completed registration, and is also shown below.
