It’s a small world but a big undertaking is underway at the new Porter-Leath Early Childhood Academy where 224 of the city’s neediest children learn skills that are expected to change the trajectory of their lives and possibly the course of the community.

Leveling Up Your Events With Digital

When you own a small business, every piece of your marketing strategy is important –from face-to-face outreach to online reputation, to events.

by

The Epic Decision

In late May 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court handed down its decision in Epic Systems Corporation v. Lewis, which actually covered three (3) cases presenting the same basic issue: whether employment arbitration agreements that contain class or collective action waivers violate the National Labor Relations Act [NLRA]. This decision in Epic held that such waivers in employment arbitration agreements do not violate the NLRA and are, in fact, enforceable under the Federal Arbitration Act [FAA].
