The ACC is the world's largest organization of in-house counsel, with more than 26,500 members in 75 countries. The award recognizes Loggins' contributions to the ACC, the Employment and Labor Law Committee (which consists of more than 5,400 members), the legal profession generally and in-house practice specifically.

In addition, she made a number of presentations on the topics of employment law, social media, diversity and in-house counsel ethics.

Loggins serves on the board of directors for the ACC - Georgia chapter and as chair of the Employment and Labor Committee. In addition to community volunteer work, she is a pro-bono mediator for the EEOC and represents Crawford on the Labor Relations committee of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
