(November — 2011)
I am writing this blog post two weeks before ACC’s largest meeting of in-house counsel — our Annual Meeting. Let me clarify: Not only is this the largest meeting ACC has ever hosted, but it is also the largest meeting of in-house counsel anywhere. Anywhere, people … as in, the world. We do not make this claim without having the facts to back it up. We also do not take what we do lightly. We know we make an impact on your profession and chosen career. Why? Well, simply put: You tell us so. You participate, attend and renew your memberships. What greater compliment could an association have?
Despite desperate unemployment numbers, bankruptcies and foreclosures, ACC’s membership numbers continue to grow. We currently have more than 29,000 members. Despite print advertising declining everywhere, the ACC Docket closes out 2011 with the most advertising in its history. This is also the year that the magazine and its supplements won 16 awards— the most ACC’s publishing department has ever received. The 2011 Annual Meeting also brings the largest number of exhibitors in our history. This means that you are able to keep abreast of the latest and greatest services the legal profession has to offer.
The November issue of the ACC Docket continues to offer content that helps you do your job better. If your interest lies in real estate, this month’s cover story on receiverships is for you. November’s issue also features articles on litigation predictions, creative anti-counterfeiting solutions, 200 practical issues on M&A integration, the dual role of in-house counsel and compliance officer, and managing social media.
ACC. Everything you need is right here.
