TEEOCA
Tulsa Equal Employment Opportunity Coordinators Association
______________________
Invitation from Tulsa Chapter President:
Travis Jones
My has this year flown by quickly. As I look back and think about all the changes in our country over the past year, it amazes me: Economic collapse, bail outs, a new president, the stock market shift, oil & gas up and down, the lays offs continuing, and on top of all that, so many new laws for employers to keep abreast of – Are you tired yet? Chris Thrutchley will bring us a fresh insight into FMLA with some real life situations for us to consider, and the need for on-going basic prevention training. He promises to bring a program that will help you navigate the economy and help you and your companies to keep above the laws of the land. I was reminded over the past few months of the value of TEEOCA, to keep our HR community up to date on current issues. Without a doubt, your board is committed to providing you with programs that help you to maintain a seat at the table with your companies. Thanks for the great attendance and commitment to coming each month. It has a been a pleasure being a part of TEEOCA this year.
