February Legal Update & Luncheon

Registration deadline: Friday, February 21, 2025

Legal Hour:

10:15 AM - 11:15 AM

Presented by Mike Coffey

Topic:
Legal and Practical Background Check Considerations

Because placing the wrong person in the wrong position can lead to loss, litigation, and liability, employers use a variety of application and interview techniques. But they also realize the importance of verifying the information provided by their employment candidates.

At the same time, class action lawsuits for failure to comply with federal and state laws governing background checks have resulted in payouts to applicants and employees, including those who suffered no harm from the defendant-employers’ actions.

In this presentation, we will discuss the ways employers can verify their applicants claims while avoiding the most common causes of background check litigation.

Luncheon:

11:30 AM - 1:00 PM

Presented by Judd Shaw 

Topic:

Creating Organizations that Thrive: The Power of Authentic Leadership

In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, leaders are facing extraordinary circumstances that demand we strike the right balance between creating a psychologically safe workplace environment while driving up the bottom line.

Navigating this defining moment in the short term and preparing to capture opportunity in the long term will require a healthy mindset, critical decision making and strong relationships. Yet many of us find ourselves overcome with a feeling of shame that is holding us back and keeping us stuck in the old, hard ways of doing things.

Location:

River Crest Country Club Ballroom
1501 Western Ave
Fort Worth, TX 76107

Topic and speaker information coming soon.
