This year marked a special milestone for UTCA: The 20th Annual Client Update! The event, held October 5th at the Sheraton Springfield, was an outstanding success with excellent turnout and a fun and educational program enjoyed by all. Employers from across the region gathered for the conference which included guest speakers and a year in review of UI legislative trends, projections, and employment law updates.
A perennial hit, UTCA staff performed their interactive game show “Are You Smarter Than A Review Examiner?” The show was emceed by Director of Operations Meghan Avery and VP of Client Services Tim Phelan and even featured music from Disney’s Frozen.
In addition to the featured program content, attendees engaged with the key partners sponsoring this year’s update. Offering their own unique value and advice to the participants, these respected employer service providers added a new dimension to the event. The valued sponsors included Checkwriters Payroll, Employer’s Association of New England, Paragus Strategic IT, and Johnson & Hill Staffing Services.
Event speakers included Attorney Meghan Sullivan, a highly regarded employment law attorney from the firm Sullivan, Hayes, & Quinn. Atty. Sullivan closed the event with her annual Employment Law Update which featured insight on medical marijuana, the American’s with Disabilities Act, and evolving legal trends important for all employers.
UTCA would like to thank all who attended and hope to see you back for the 21st Annual Update next fall!
