Moving Forward: Men and Women in the 21st Century Workplace
The aftermath of the allegations against high profile members of Congress and the entertainment industry has sparked the #me too movement, and left many organizations and people nervously wondering who will be next, and what they can do to make sure they are not next.
The Center for Professional Education at Georgia Highlands College has brought together two well respected lawyers to help us learn how to avoid career-ending scandals and provide workplaces free of gender harassment. After short presentations, both lawyers will answer questions from participants.
