Reminder: “Medical Marijuana in the Workplace” webinar next week

APA is partnering with the Arkansas Bankers Association to present a live webinar on medical marijuana, and the issues and challenges that face employers and those responsible for workplace regulatory compliance and risk management regarding such.

The webinar will provide an overview of the failed recent ballot initiative to legalize recreational marijuana in Arkansas, then shift into the need to adopt appropriate workplace policies related to medical marijuana, which is legal in the state.

“As the use of medical marijuana becomes increasingly more common, it is vital that employers know how to shield themselves from liability while still accommodating the medical needs of their staff,” said

APA Executive Director Ashley Kemp Wimberley

Brett W. Taylor, a seasoned litigator with experience practicing before the federal and state courts of Arkansas and the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals includes defending employers against civil rights claims, professional liability and medical malpractice actions, and a range of other commercial disputes, will lead the webinar.

The webinar will be held via Zoom on Thursday, March 2 from 10 to 11 a.m. The cost is $50. For more information or to register, call the Arkansas Bankers Association Professional Development Department at (501) 376-3741 or email kami.coleman@arkbankers.org
