Check out this testimonial from one of our previous attendees:
"At The Glass Jar we make it a practice to send our HR staff to a labor law workshop each year to learn what's new and important. Having attended several different workshops organized by groups such as CalChamber and the California Restaurant Association, we have found the Hopkins and Carley workshop by the Santa Cruz County Chamber to be the most engaging, educational and delivers the most value in a 3 hours of any workshop we have attended." - Zach Davis
