UPDATE: Medical Marijuana webinar rescheduled for April

“Medical Marijuana in the Workplace”, the live webinar on which APA is partnering with the Arkansas Bankers Association to present, has been rescheduled to late April.

The webinar is aimed at employers and those responsible for workplace regulatory compliance. It 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. Brett W. Taylor, a seasoned litigator whose experience 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 Tuesday, April 25, from 10 to 11 a.m. The cost is $50 for APA and ABA members.

For more information, please see the flyer on pages 8 and 9 of this week’s Arkansas Publisher Weekly. To register, email kami.coleman@arkbankers.org.
