The New York State Workers’ Compensation Board (Board) has announced a series of three regional conferences to take place this summer in Albany, Rochester, and New York City. The half-day, afternoon sessions are open to anyone with an interest in the New York State workers’ compensation system, and will highlight important advances in workers’ comp, as well as provide Continuing Legal Education (CLE) and Continuing Medical Education (CME) courses. “With the successful implementation of major legislative initiatives and more exciting improvements to come, now is a perfect time for the Board to get out and talk to our key stakeholders about the important work we’re doing to advance the New York State workers’ compensation system,” said Board Chair Clarissa M. Rodriguez. “Over the years, we’ve gotten lots of valuable feedback, and we’re excited to share how the Board has incorporated this input to make the system better for workers and better for business.”
The regional schedule is below:
The cost is $50 to attend, with hardship scholarships available to those who qualify. Registration is limited and will be granted mainly on a first-come, first-served basis. However, special consideration will be given to those seeking CME/CLE credits. For complete details and to register, visit bit.ly/WCBconference19.
