Announcing the 2023 Toolbox Talks Series - Register Now!

We are pleased to announce the schedule for the six Division 1 Toolbox Talk Series (TTS) programs planned for 2023. For those who may not be aware, Division 1 created the TTS to provide a mechanism for a discussion separate and apart from the Forum's three national meetings. It is a great way to learn something new in a collaborative environment and only takes 30 minutes out of your busy day!

To ensure you don't miss a thing, register now for all of the TTS programs now by clicking the links below. You can also access the handout (with links) by clicking on the picture below. Spread the word to your friends and colleagues as these programs are open to anyone that would like to attend.

A special thanks goes out to the 2023 TTS Team which helped put this great program together: Marcus Quintanilla, Manuel del Valle, Stephen Swart, Andrew Vicknair, David Ponte, Jen Millender, Jessica Knox, Mike Martin, and Patricia Thompson. This team was led by Kanita Williams and Tom Dunn. If you have any questions about the TTS series, please feel free to contact Tom at rtdunn@PierceAtwood.com or Kanita at kwilliams@mwc-law.com.
