Overview (Program Summary)

A program hosted by:

ACC Houston
The ACC Houston Chapter is being offered registration for a special online CLE.
Please join ACC Oregon and Perkins Coie LLP for an online CLE about diversity, equity and inclusion during these uncertain times.
 
February 22, 2023
4:00pm - 5:30pm
 
Many sectors are making broad and bold commitments to achieve diversity, equity, and inclusion, including implicit bias awareness training, efforts to expand inclusion in the workplace, and setting numerical targets as a means to measure progress. These commitments have been part of the growing Environmental, Social, and Governance push in corporate America. At the same time, “wokeness” allegations have surfaced and affirmative action cases are before the Supreme Court.
 
Chris Wilkinson from Perkins Coie's office in Washington, DC and Abdul Kallon with the firm's office in Seattle will provide an overview of the current DEI legal landscape, strategies and tools used to foster diversity and inclusion, and the headwinds facing this work.
 
PRESENTERS:  
 
All corporate counsel may participate regardless of membership in the ACC!
Interest Area(s): Diversity and Inclusion

Speakers

Chris Wilkinson, Senior Counsel with Perkins Coie's DC office
Abdul Kallon, Partner with Perkins Coie's office in Seattle

The Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC) is a global bar association that promotes the common professional and business interests of in-house counsel who work for and whose primary responsibility is providing legal advice to corporations, associations and other private-sector organizations. Accordingly, the ACC Houston Chapter reserves the right to limit attendance at any of its Continuing Legal Education (CLE) events to ACC Houston Chapter members or non-ACC chapter member in-house attorneys only.

This grant to the ACC Houston Parties includes, but is not limited to, the use of the Recordings either alone or together with supporting materials, such as video or supporting information.
