The NanoBusiness Commercialization Association (NanoBCA) would like to recommend the following:
American Bar Association’s ABA Section of Environment, Energy, and Resources 30th Fall Conference
September 21-23, 2022
Nashville, TN
The American Bar Association’s (ABA) Section of Environment, Energy, and Resources (SEER) 30th Fall Conference will look at rapidly emerging developments in environmental, energy, and resources law, including the novel approaches taken to bring solutions to climate change, sustainability, clean air, clean water, chemical management, environmental justice, and other transformative issues. Lynn L. Bergeson, Managing Partner, Bergeson & Campbell, P.C. (B&C®), will present during the “Periodic Review: Reinvigorated Chemical Product Regulation under FIFRA and TSCA” session.
ABOUT THIS EVENT
An amazing slate of programming and speakers is planned for Nashville. In addition to being the 30th anniversary of the Fall Conference, this year also coincides with the 50th anniversaries of monumental federal environmental laws that include the Clean Water Act; the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act; the Ocean Dumping Act; the Coastal Zone Management Act; and the Marine Mammal Protection Act. The Conference will reflect on this legacy and other historic environmental laws as it focuses on the future, including emerging topics and trends that are fundamentally changing the course of the legal practice.
Senior Biden administration officials and experienced practitioners will share their insights on a host of thought-provoking issues. The Conference will look at rapidly emerging developments in environmental, energy, and resources law, including the novel approaches taken to bring solutions to climate change, sustainability, clean air, clean water, chemical management, environmental justice, and other transformative issues.
The Conference will also highlight the Section’s focus on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) initiatives. We are mindful that after the Conference location was contracted, Tennessee passed a series of laws that discriminate against the LGBTQ+ community. Nashville officials have opposed those laws and stated that they will not enforce them. We are pleased that the Mayor of Nashville, John Cooper, has agreed to speak to these issues in his conference opening remarks. The Section prides itself on creating a welcoming and inclusive environment at our events and does not tolerate prejudice or discrimination. We are also mindful that Tennessee has recently brought into force laws relating to reproductive choice that many of our members strongly oppose. The position of the American Bar Association can be found here.
Whether you work in the public, private, or nonprofit sectors, this is a conference that you will not want to miss.
