Health Care Reform

Consolidation

Labor Relations & Legal Updates

Talent & Performance Reviews

Training Supervisors in Act 10/32 Environment

Please join us for two information packed days and take advantage of the opportunity to network with your peers so we can all learn from each others’ experiences.
