"Make it Monday" forum - How Discrimination Laws affect your Business
Event Sponsors
Marti Buscaglia, Executive Director, and Linda Allen, Investigator, of the Alaska State Commission for Human Rights (ASCHR) will educate the business community about ASCHR and its role in enforcing state law regarding discriminatory practices, thereby helping business owners and managers prevent discrimination in their workplace.
"Many times, managers don't realize that what they're doing could be considered discrimination under the law," says Buscaglia.
The program will begin with an introduction to the AlaskaCARES Program by Bryant Skinner and Cathy Baldwin-Johnson, M.D. of the Alaska Providence Foundation.
