Today’s workplace finds employers facing myriad rules, regulations and laws. Proper handling of employment issues such as military leave, OFLA, FMLA and wage and hour compliance are key to a healthy business.

Thursday, Sept. 15, 5:30-7:30 p.m.

This seminar features William Colby, who represented the family of Nancy Cruzan in the first right-to-die case heard by the U.S. Supreme Court. A panel of local experts who will discuss both sides of this unique law will be moderated by Oregon Public Broadcasting’s Colin Fogarty.

This seminar is free and open to the public. Pre-registration is not necessary; seating will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Co-sponsored by the Civil Rights Section.
