When Legislation Misses the Mark: A Real-World Case Studay

Join us for an important WASS Wednesday conversation with Lance Snider, President of the Illinois Search & Staffing Association and Vice President of The Plus Group, as he shares firsthand insight into the legislative challenges facing staffing firms in Illinois – and the ripple effects those decisions have created.

What happens when legislation is introduced without a full understanding of how the staffing industry works?

In Illinois, the answer has been costly.

During our session with Lance, we’ll cover:

• How legislative decisions have impacted staffing firms, their clients and their employees
• The unintended consequences that can arise when our industry isn’t fully understood
• Why building relationships with state and local representatives before legislation is introduced is critical
• Practical ways to stay informed and engaged at the state level

The reality is simple: when our industry isn’t at the table, decisions are made without us.

This session is an opportunity to learn from Illinois’ experience, and better prepare for what could emerge in Wisconsin.

Upon registering for the session, you’ll receive a confirmation email with an attached “ticket” that includes the Zoom log-in details
