Employers are not only expected to be experts in their respective businesses, but also to know about and comply with a wide array of complicated labor and employment laws and regulations.  Knowledge, anticipation, and planning are necessary to be successful with both.  Please join us for an informative program that will supplement your business acumen with information to prepare you to deal with the impact of external forces from the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of our state and federal government.
