The Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC) is the world's largest organization serving the professional and business interests of attorneys who practice in the legal departments of corporations, associations, nonprofits and other private-sector organizations around the globe.
There are two competing forces at play in the hiring process: the legal requirement to make employment decisions that are not based on protected characteristics and the desire to ensure underrepresented groups are fully considered in the employment process. How can employers do the latter without violating the former?

Explore how employers can lawfully implement race and gender conscious measures that do not violate equal employment opportunity principles.
This panel features the following speakers:
Dawn Blume, Senior Counsel, People and Culture, BP America Inc.
Cara Crotty, Partner, Constangy, Brooks, Smith & Prophete LLP
