South Florida Chapter of the Association of Corporate Counsel – Ambassadors Program for South Florida Law Students
The South Florida Chapter of the Association of Corporate Counsel (ACCA-SFL) announced the launch of its Ambassadors Program for South Florida law students in early 2012. Participating law students, or “ACCA-SFL Ambassadors”, volunteer at ACCA-SFL’s various events during the year, providing the students with a unique networking and educational opportunity. With access to ACC-SFL’s in-house counsel membership and its law firm sponsors, students are able to build relationships and attend seminars on current legal issues. ACCA-SFL, a non-profit association, is the South Florida chapter of the Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC), the world’s largest community of in-house counsel, serving the professional and business interests of attorneys who practice in the legal departments of corporations, associations, and other private-sector organizations around the globe. ACCA-SFL serves more than 400 members from Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade counties. ACCA-SFL partners with its sponsors to provide innovative networking opportunities, substantive programs and community outreach by holding several events for its members each year. Our major 2012 events included “A Night at the Museum”, held on May 4,2012 at the Boca Raton Museum of Art, ACCA@Bat!!, held on July 27, 2012 at the Clevelander suite at the new Miami Marlins Ballpark, and last but not least, ACCA-SFL’s Third Annual CLE conference – “The Real In-House Counsel of SouthFlorida”, held on September 20, 2012 at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. In addition to its major programming, several breakfast CLEs, community service events and social networking opportunities are hosted during the calendar year. ACCA-SFL’s 2012 Platinum sponsors were Bilzin Sumberg, Fox Rothschild and Katz Barron, each of which will return as sponsors for 2013. ACCA-SFL is now looking for additional Ambassadors to participate in its 2013 programming, including but not limited to its Inaugural Golf &Spa CLE, to be held May 17, 2013 at the PGA National Resort and Spa, and its 4th Annual CLE conference to be held in late September/early October.
