The fee for members and non-members without a reservation (walk-in) is $45. The registration deadline to receive the reduced rates is by the Thursday prior to the Thursday meeting.

After that date, please call Jo Warley at 831-645-1440 or email her at reservations@cchra.org to register at the walk-in rate. Payment can be made at the door by cash or check. Cancellation Policy: We definitely understand that unforeseen circumstances may arise that would prevent someone from being able to attend. Unfortunately, CCHRA has been burdened in the past with the expense related to reservations made that are not kept as we are billed by the meeting venue and catering services for the number of reservations received. Understandably, the Board of Directors and general membership prefers to manage CCHRA's funds in a more fiscally responsible way. If you reserve, and are unable to attend, please be sure to cancel in advance by NO LATER THAN THE THURSDAY PRIOR TO THE THURSDAY MEETING to avoid being billed although you were absent. To cancel, please send an email to reservations@cchra.org with a subject header of "cancellation and your name" or call Jo Warley at 831-645-1440. If we do not receive your cancellation, we will need to bill you. Thank you for your understanding! We look forward to seeing you at our upcoming program! Come hear our educational speakers at the beautiful Corral De Tierra Country Club. And don’t forget to pre-register…the cost which includes lunch and the program, is only $25 for CCHRA members ($40 for non-members) when you pre-register by the Thursday before the program.
Proceed with Caution! Social Networking in the Workplace September 9, 2010
Crystal Riggins, associate with the law firm of Hoge Fenton Jones and Appel, will be speaking about Social Networking and what it means for employers in the workplace. Social media is a fast-growing marketing tool for companies of all sizes. It is not without legal concerns and risks, however. In October 2009 the Federal Trade Commission, which enforces laws related to advertising in all types of media, broadened its Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising to include social media. This change has big impact to employers, including the implementation of written policies regarding social networking and disclosure; and notification to all employees, independent contractors, and all other persons with material connections to your company, goods, or services of the FTC’s disclosure requirements. Crystal Riggins is a member of the Litigation Practice Group.
