All are welcome! 

No experience required. Training, supervision, and insurance are provided by WWHLS.

For many years, ACC NCR volunteers from across our geographic footprint and with a wide variety of expertise have worked with Whitman-Walker Health Legal Services to assist transgender clients with the important work of legally changing their name and gender.  Meet with clients from the convenience of your home, office, or other venue of your choice!  See below for details about this particular pro bono opportunity.  For information about other opportunities discussed during the program, contact WWHLS Sr. Manager of Legal Operations and Pro Bono Lee Hicks at lhicks@whitman-walker.org.

This program will demonstrate public relations strategies for getting ahead of public opinion nightmares which will allow companies to win even in "losing" scenarios, both ethically and properly. Learn from experts in the field, engaged in high profile litigation who have a sophisticated understanding of the unique junction of the court of law and the court of public opinion and how ethics is such an important part of the process, from public statements to the advice given to principals and clients. 

In just a few short months, New Jersey will join the growing number of states that requires both internal and external job posts to include compensation information.  New Jersey has one of the most pay equity laws in the country, and the pay transparency requirement adds a new level of complexity and risk to this already challenging area of the law.  Join Kathleen McLeod Caminiti and Sarah Wieselthier of Fisher Phillips for a deep dive on the status of pay transparency requirements in New Jersey and around the country to enable your organization to prepare both a New Jersey and multi-state compliant job posting.  The discussion will include the adoption of compensation and compliance strategies to ensure your organization’s pay practices are compliant with federal and state law, and insight on how to effectively implement and communicate pay transparency practices to protect against legal exposure and to help close pay gaps in the workplace.

 

Join Seyfarth Shaw and ACC Northeast for a program addressing cultural flashpoints in the workplace from a legal perspective (including the impact of the recent Executive Orders.)

Workplaces are not immune from polarization in American society. Cultural conflicts are on the rise, whether stemming from politics, current events, or international affairs. Those conflicts may intersect with protected classifications such as religion, race, LGBTQ+ identity and national origin. We are seeing these trends accelerate in a new presidential administration. Employers need effective strategies to lower the temperature, ensure compliance with the law, and stay focused on the business.

Join attorneys from our Cultural Flashpoints Task Force for an essential in-depth look at these issues, including:

  • Common workplace flashpoints and what we expect for 2025;
  • Practical tips for navigating those flashpoints in the context of your day-to-day operations, internal investigations, and employment litigation;
  • How to develop a framework for Flashpoints that aligns with your company’s values, policies and the legal framework;
  • How to update your policies and training to empower your company for the current moment.
