This checklist includes key issues to consider for the in-house legal career journey of women in the Middle East. This checklist was prepared by the Association of Corporate Counsel, based mainly on the ACC Webcast titled Finding Your Seat at the Table as a Woman in the Middle East (March 23, 2021) - a webcast delivered by leading GCs in the region along with ACC Women In the House (WITH) and ACC Middle East & North Africa about their career journeys and their recommendations for creating the environment to support more women in finding their seat at the table.

You are cordially invited to join us for this unique virtual event.  ACC Northeast's DE&I Committee, along with Verrill Dana LLP, have crafted this session to offer some light entertainment along with engaging story-telling and conversation about breaking through barriers to "belong."

Rachel Childers, the first female member ever of the brass section in the Boston Symphony Orchestra , will start off with a pre-recorded performance of a piece by one her favorite female composers.  Rachel, along with Jamie Whitney of State Street and Regina Hurley and Gene Dahmen of Verrill Dana, will share their "stories" that reinforce that we share more commonalities than differences and how these commonalities can create a culture that promotes belonging.  Robin Walker of Goldfinch Bio will moderate the discussion.

This virtual event will be the highlight and offer a great ending to your work day.

Please RSVP below to attend.  Registrants will receive dial-in information 24 hours in advance of the event.

If you are a GC or CLO, we'd love to have you to join us for our next IN-PERSON GC/CLO Lunch Club gathering!  We will be meeting in King of Prussia at The Capital Grille, where our discussion will focus on recruiting and retaining diverse talent in the Legal Department and beyond.

There is no charge for GC/CLO chapter members to attend this luncheon, but pre-registration is required.  CANCELLATION POLICY:  48-hours’-notice required to chrisstewart@accglobal.com.
