This is the flyer for one of two half-day workshops we conducted in Colorado in June. We did the same program in Colorado Springs June 10th. This is a representative example of similar programs being coordinated for the Fall of this year. This unique hands-on practical application workshop is designed for all trade compliance professionals, but especially so for Empowered Officials. It addresses regulatory requirements but also focuses on how organizations and individuals can and should minimize their exposure, liability and risk. The workshop has a variety of case studies that illustrate the real world challenges that have happened and will happen. This one of a kind program makes you better educated and better prepared to deal with real world problems and situations you will encounter. The afternoon is set aside for one-hour no cost sessions with the presenters to discuss whatever issues attendees choose.
