Empowering Small Businesses with Essential Legal Insights!

Join us for the Employment Law Update Conference Aug. 14. 
​By Kim Oyler, Interim CEO of the Durango Chamber of Commerce​

I take immense pride in the work we do at the Durango Chamber to support our local businesses. Seeing businesses thrive because of the resources we provide is one of the most rewarding parts of my job. That’s why I’m particularly excited to announce the upcoming Employment Law Update in collaboration with the Durango Area Human Resources Management organization. ​

Coming up on Aug 14, is a one-day conference led by esteemed employment law attorney Michael Santo and his team of lawyers. This event is an invaluable opportunity for small business owners and managers to gain critical insights into current employment laws, compliance strategies and solutions to common HR challenges. 
For small businesses, especially with limited resources, navigating the complexities of employment law can be daunting and time consuming.  Keeping up-to-date with continuously changing regulations is essential to ensuring a fair and compliant workplace environment and avoiding costly legal disputes. 

We invite you to attend this conference at the Fort Lewis College Student Union Ballroom. Michael and his team will cover a range of topics, including recent changes in employment legislation and compliance strategies. They will share their extensive experience and expertise, providing clear, actionable advice to help you stay ahead of the curve. 

This event also offers an opportunity to network with fellow small business owners and industry professionals. Sharing experiences and solutions with peers can provide new perspectives and innovative ideas for managing your business more effectively. 

Thank you to the Law Firm of Bechtel & Santo, the Leavitt Group, and the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad for sponsoring the conference. This event is just one example of how the Durango Chamber provides resources to support the area’s business community and why I love working here.
