Program - 4:00pm - 5:00pm
Networking/Cocktails - 5:00pm - 6:00pm (Feel free to stay and network with both panelists and attendees after the program)

No matter how long you have been running your own business or working as an HR professional, workplace issues like harassment, ADA/FMLA, wage and hour, and investigating complaints can be tricky. Three labor & employment attorneys from Wright Lindsey Jennings will highlight recurring legal issues in the workplace and how to address them while staying compliant with the law.

The Q&A sessions are powered by Delta Dental of Arkansas, to ensure that we all feel engaged and connected. Thank you to our Cheers sponsor, MK Distributors and our series partner sponsor, Wright Lindsey Jennings.

This year’s Cultivate sessions will not only explore issues facing women in business, but will also help us nurture relationships with each other. Our mission is to fuel economic growth by facilitating the development of professional women in the Little Rock region through intentional programming directly aimed at obstacles and opportunities women encounter in their careers. It is our hope that the women who join us for these various panels will be able to tap into the expertise of some of Little Rock's brightest and most dynamic females who are making waves in their industries.
