AFFINITY GROUPS
The ACC NCR DEI Allies & Advocates Subcommittee supports the Chapter's DEI efforts through active affiliation and engagement. We strive to cultivate and strengthen alliances with underrepresented, disadvantaged, and underserved communities in ways that advance or promote diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in the legal profession. ACC NCR is committed to increasing the visibility of the chapter’s affinity groups and assisting with the expansion of affinity group activities. Our current groups are:
- Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) Affinity Group
- Accessibility Affinity Group: Legal professionals with visible and invisible disabilities
- Black & African American Affinity Group
- Café con Leche Affinity Group: Hispanic/Latinx in-house counsel
- LGBTQ+ Affinity Group
- Young Lawyers Affinity Group: Generation Z, Generation Y and late Generation X
- Veterans (VetNet): members that have served in, or want to continue to help support the military, in any capacity.
Our Affinity Groups are led by member volunteers and events are open to all interested ACC NCR members. Click on Upcoming Events for their networking and other events.
