Mandatory Sex Harassment Training - February 10, 2008 (Universal City)
 
State law mandates that every business executive and supervisory employee must attend a two hour training session on sex harassment prevention at least every other year.  If you were trained in 2007, you must be trained again in 2009.  Employees promoted into a supervisory position must be trained within 6 months of the new assignment.  We have scheduled our first public training session for February 10th at the Sheraton Universal Hotel.  The cost is only $99.00 per attendee.  A certificate documenting attendance is provided.  Click here for registration information.
