Nominations

The principal criteria for ACC Board Membership include a demonstrated commitment to the association and/or being a recognized leader in the profession. As always, we seek a diverse candidate pool and consider a variety of factors:

·       The type of organization represented (e.g., public/private, market capitalization, for-profit/non-profit)

·       Size of legal department

·       Practice concentration and/or industry experience

·       Geographic representation to reflect the breadth of the association membership

·       International experience (such as living and/or working outside of the United States or managing global staff or issues)

·       Independence, objectivity, and capability of serving as a representative of the association as a whole irrespective of prior or current practice network or chapter affiliations.

The Nominating Committee will determine a final slate of nominees for election by the Board of Directors at the October 2026 Board meeting.

All Board candidates must also be willing to commit and have sufficient time and employer support to discharge the duties of Board membership, including travel to and from ACC Board meetings.

Nominations can be submitted starting January 14, 2026. The nomination period will close on March 3, 2026, so all nominations of candidates, including self-nominations, must be submitted on or before that date.   Thank you for your input and continuing support.
