SUMMARY:FACC Atlanta: Immigration & Travel Ban: Time out!
DESCRIPTION:The Latest updates on immigration and travel ban to the EU and Schengen countries! \nIn response to numerous questions that our members asked us these last days\, and due to the high level of uncertainty concerning not only the last proclamation but also regular immigration and consular processes\, we will host a webinar followed by a Q&A Session on \nMonday\, June 29\, from 2 to 3pm\, \nOur Guest Speakers will be discussing the following topics: \nPART 1: The last Presidential Proclamation and its consequences on your immigration status \nOn June 22\, 2020\, Donald Trump issued a new Proclamation suspending entry of “aliens who present a risk to the U.S. labor market following the Coronavirus outbreak”. This proclamation is not only poorly drafted but also places uncertainty on the status of many immigrants and companies. President Trump justified that proclamation arguing that “American workers compete against foreign nationals for jobs in every sector of our economy\,” and that amid the economic troubles created by the pandemic\, work visas including the H-1B “pose an unusual threat to the employment of American workers.” This is not the first time that this administration is trying to negatively impact the immigration process of foreign workers. However\, this last proclamation has already had devastating consequences for international companies\, which are now starting to get into uncharted waters. \nPART 2: The last updates to enter any country of the Schengen Area: what to expect this summer?  \nU.S. citizens are not required to obtain a Schengen visa in order to enter any member country of the Schengen Area for tourism or business purposes. However\, the travel restrictions imposed worldwide because of the Coronavirus pandemic already affected the entry of many U.S. citizens in Europe. What are the last updates for this summer for U.S. residents?The presentation will be followed by a Q&A session. Please email your questions in advance at julie@facc-atlanta.com. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs a courtesy\, this program is free for all but registration is required.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nExamples  of questions to be covered during this webinar\n\n\nI am currently under a L1 visa\, but temporarily in France for vacation with a valid visa already issued by the Consulate. Does the Proclamation apply to me?\nI am currently in the U.S with a J-1 visa but planning to visit France for three weeks in July. Will I be able to return?\nI plan to sponsor one employee through the EB2 process. Is the process currently suspended?\nI am currently under a L1 visa but I need an extension since the current L1 expires in three weeks. Would I be able to renew the extension from France?\nI am outside the US but already hold a valid H1B. Will I be impacted?\nCan I still apply for a O-visa?\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMeet our Speakers\n\n \nH.

SUMMARY:FACC Dallas Virtual Wine Tasting: Château de Pommard
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT\nStart Father’s Day weekend with a tour of Burgundy along the Route des Grands Crus\, in this private event for FACC members! \nGrab your glasses and join Cedar Stoltenow and the team of Château de Pommard on a virtual journey along the world-famous wine road\, the “Route des Grand Crus”. During these challenging times\, it’s difficult to travel\, so let’s explore Burgundy together with a curated selection of newly released wines from the 2018 vintage. Learn how Burgundy’s star grape varieties\, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay\, express themselves across the region’s rich maze of villages and terroirs. Pick up some of our suggested cheese and charcuterie pairing options for the full tasting experience\, right in your home. \nTo taste along from home\, order your three-bottle La Route des Grand Crus Tasting Trio or the full La Route des Grands Crus Collection. You’ll also receive a selection of pairing recipes specially developed for these wines by private chef and sommelier Jordan Lynn Traylor. \nWhat will I learn? \n\nHow do natural factors influence wine’s taste\, style and ageability ?\nWhat do I pair with wines from this region ?\nWhat should I look for when choosing Burgundy wines ?\nWhat is the style and ageing potential of the 2018 vintage in Burgundy?\nHow can I plan my next trip to Burgundy and visit Château de Pommard’s historic estate?\n\nABOUT CHÂTEAU DE POMMARD\nFounded in 1726 by Vivant Micault\, secretary to King Louis XV\, Château de Pommard remains one of the most iconic and visited wine estates in Burgundy. Clos Marey-Monge\, at the heart of the domain\, has been producing one of the greatest expressions of Pinot Noir for more than two millennia. The 20-hectare clay- and limestone-rich terroir makes it the largest and most interesting monopole vineyard in the Côte d’Or. In July 2015\, UNESCO declared the Clos a world heritage protected climat of Burgundy. The Carabello-Baum family of San Francisco purchased the domain in 2014 and became just the fifth family to guide the estate in almost 300 years. The family has transformed the estate into the ultimate wine education destination where anyone can experience the phenomenon that is Burgundy. \n  \n  \nREGISTER NOW

Darrah will help you get unstuck and live a fuller\, more meaningful life\, on your terms. \nThis presentation will be followed by a Q&A session. \nThe Women’s Series is a collaboration between the German\, French\, Belgian\, Swedish and Netherlands American Chambers of Commerce as well as the British-American Business Council and the Japan-America Society of Georgia. We host educational & networking events with the goal of bringing together women in the Atlanta international community. \nMeet our Speakers: \nDarrah Brustein\, Guest Speaker \nDarrah is a 4x founder\, author\, and coach who used to cringe at the word ‘coaching’. But she called to do this and begged by her first clients to work with them. When they saw massive and transformational results in their lives and businesses\, she stopped resisting and continued to serve. After spending 10 years over-working and burning out while building a credit card processing company into 38 states and a networking events company for over 30\,000 people\, she learned the wrong way to do it\, and then discovered that there was a better way.  Click here for the full bio. \n  \nClaire Angelle\, Moderator \nClaire Angelle has over 12 years of experience in international affairs\, economic development\, government relations and communications in North America\, Europe and South America.Prior to  starting her own venture\, Claire was Executive Director of Worth Cities – The Worth Group where she was in charge of providing comprehensive strategy\,  content/marketing services and programs for cities across the United States suffering from a perceived recognition deficit.
