Key changes in enforcement priorities related to IE&D initiatives;
Legal considerations and best practices for employers implementing or adjusting IE&D programs.

The ACC NCR Community Service Committee invites you to join your ACC NCR colleagues to sort and pack donated food items at the Capital Area Food Bank's warehouse.
This activity is our official kick-off to participating in Food From The Bar, the legal community’s annual response to hunger in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan region. Food From The Bar supports the Capital Area Food Bank, which assists 1.5 million DMV residents who experience food insecurity each year. With significant government layoffs this year, the Capital Area Food Bank anticipates a much greater need as more people will be affected by food insecurity.
Capital Area Food Bank's warehouse has plenty of parking available and lockers to lock up your belongings. The location is between the Fort Totten (Green & Red lines) and the Brookland (Red) metro stations (about a 10–15-minute walk from each station).
Colleagues, friends, and family members over 12 years old are welcome to volunteer (please register each person).
