February's Scoop

Time's Up: Sexual Harassment in the Workplace CLE on February 27th at noon
Please join us on February 27, 2018 for a timely luncheon to discuss different aspects of sexual harassment in the workplace.  This will not be like a typical sexual harassment training.  The purpose of the presentation is to address how recent publicity surrounding sexual harassment and public figures is impacting businesses and individuals in Nevada.  We are fortunate to have a diverse panel of notable Nevada women to address this issue,    including, the Honorable Valerie P. Cooke, Boyd Professor Ann McGinley, Mary Dugan, and Ann Morgan. CLE credit is pending approval (ethics credit). 
​
The event will be held in a large conference room at the Washoe County District Attorney’s Office, which is located at 1 South Sierra Street in the South Tower on the 3rd floor.  (Please note you will have to go through a metal detector to enter the building.)  The event will be catered by the Cheese Board.  The food will be served buffet style and will include salad, a variety of sandwiches, dessert, and water.  

The cost for the event is: $20 for members, $25 for non-members, and $40 for a member plus a guest.  In order to ensure that we have enough seats and food for everyone, please RSVP by  February 22nd. 

You can RSVP by paying for the event on our website (http://www.nnwla.com/events.html or by sending an email to nnwla.rsvp@gmail.com and mailing a check attention to Jenna Garcia, P.O. Box 40953, Reno, NV 89504.
