Weekly Chamber
Update
Hello
this is Wendi Bailey, your T-SC CoC President with your Weekly Chamber Update.
Your
Chamber helps businesses save money by encouraging them to become certified
drug free workplaces. Businesses who are certified drug free get 7.5% savings
on Workers Compensation premiums.
The
Chamber is inviting local human resource managers and businesses to a
conference to learn more about being,- or becoming certified Drug Free. This
year’s Drugs Don’t Work conference is Wednesday April 10th,
from 11am to 1pm at the North Georgia Technical College Currahee Campus. The fee is $10 for chamber
members and $20 from non members and includes lunch and the program.
Major
Andy Myers, the Chief Deputy of the Stephens County Sheriff’s office is our
speaker. Participants will learn about how to identify drug use in the
workplace, hear updates on drug use in our area and about the different
agencies and operations working together to address the issues; learn about the
local drug testing facilities and local employee assistance programs. This
conference will satisfy the training requirements for Drugs Don’t Work
re-certification.
Please
