Dear Mr./Ms. Last Name [First Name]:
I am a board member of the _______ Chapter of Association of Corporate Counsel and as a
fellow in-house counsel, I would like to personally invite you to join ACC, the premier
association for in-house counsel with more than 21, 000 members representing more than 8,500
corporations worldwide. I have found ACC to be an invaluable resource for gaining knowledge,
networking, and enhancing my skills as I serve my client. ACC’s membership recognizes that
ACC is the only worldwide professional organization that speaks exclusively on those issues that
affect our daily in-house practice. I don’t have a lot of free time to spend attending meetings, but
I use ACC resources and attend meetings when I’m able to because the return on my investment
of time is extraordinarily high. I never leave one of ACC’s meetings without at least one good
idea that I can use to improve the way that I, and my department, serve my client or to improve
the way that I approach my job.
No matter how many people you have in our legal department, whether it’s a large staff or you
are a solo practitioner, we face the same challenges — limited resources, increased workload,
and the need to stay on top of business, legal, and technological issues. Nonetheless, we need to
manage priorities and, most importantly, our client’s expectations. The resources that ACC
provides allow its members to perform at the highest levels, while adding value to our clients,
our colleagues, and our communities.
Here is how ACC can help you:

Timely Delivery of Critical Information. The Virtual Library of practice resources is an
outstanding value. Whether your are looking for substantive practice information about
managing your department (and outside counsel), we have it for you easily accessible and
online 24 hours a day, seven days a week. And access is free with your ACC
membership! (www.acca.com/vl)

Networking with other In-house Counsel. Our local chapter provides access to a group
of in-house counsel who share their successes and challenges, a sounding board for ideas,
and offers a source for seeking solutions. We organize these meetings to allow in-house
counsel to discuss key issues and fulfill their CLE requirements through substantive
educational programs. (insert chapter homepage url)

Practicing in the In-house Setting. The ACCA Docket, our award-winning journal, is
the only periodical written by in-house counsel, so you won’t get the theoretical
postulations on a subject. What you will receive is practical, succinct, and specific
information and guidance on the actions that you can take to improve your legal
operations.


Legal Trends. ACC provides valuable knowledge that you can use to improve your
performance, operating efficiency, relationship with senior management.

__________ (Individual’s name), I hope you will join us. I can guarantee that the return on your
personal investment of your most scarce resource — time — will be worth it.
Sincerely,
