"When I was obtaining my LL.M. in Litigation Management my course materials referenced several ACC resources, like the ACC Guide to Value-Based Fees. That led me to the ACC Resource Library. The next thing I knew I was on a Zoom call for new members of the St. Louis Chapter and was being introduced to board members and committee chairs.
That Zoom call was closely followed by an invitation from Beverly Garner to co-facilitate a CLE, which was followed by an invitation from Brian Parsons to join the Communications Committee, and a third invite from Sven Fickeler to chair the newly formed Litigation Practice Area Network. This networking has been 100% virtual - I’ve never met a single ACC St. Louis Chapter member in real life, yet.
So yeah, I came for the resource library, but stayed for the networking...and it’s been great."
