This will be a facilitated session set up in a unique style in order for our attendees to learn as much as they can, before November.

COSHRM's Legislative Director, Colin Walker, will facilitate and moderate this session. He will bring YOUR questions to the table and ask the presenters the questions our HR audience would like to know now.
