If you are reading this article, I know one thing, at least you didn���t ���ing yourself from the proverbial ���Fiscal Cliff ��� which, is very good news. I remember a button that I had from a local business networking group that read, ���I refuse to take part in the Recession.��� While I cannot guarantee that the recession is 100 percent behind us, I can promise you that together we intend to do everything possible to help you and your business grow and prosper in 2013. To help your business succeed, we are planning a series of ���Lunch and Learn��� membership seminars during the upcoming year. The topic of our ���rst ���Lunch and Learn��� which is scheduled to take place in February 2013, will center on Human Resources and Employment Related Issues. Did you know that it is estimated that three out of ���ve ���rms will be sued by an employee? What are you doing to make sure your business is not one of those being sued? Companies today are ���nding that they are vulnerable from the pre-hiring process through the exit interview. We invite you to learn how to greatly reduce the probability of getting sued. We have resources available to help you with employee handbooks, wage and hour laws, family medical leave act and much, much more. Please watch for more information about our new membership seminars in the near future as well as our other events and opportunities that will help you and your business grow during 2013. In closing, I want to personally thank Sean Balingit for all of his contributions and guidance as Chamber President during 2012. I look forward to serving each and every one of you as your New Chamber President for 2013, if I can be of service during the year please do not hesitate to call me on my cell at 951-312-8934.
