He was re?elected to a second term in 2005 and was chosen to lead the United States Conference of Mayors as its president in 2008. Diaz came to public prominence as the lawyer representing the Florida?based relatives of Elián González\, who in 2000 was at the center of a custody battle between his aunts and his Cuban father. \nIn two terms as mayor\, Manny Diaz transformed Miami from a poor\, crime-ridden\, and economically stagnant city to a flourishing metropolis with a hurtling skyline. In this session\, Diaz will explain how he set out to transform the city’s brand by attracting the best and brightest to its shores and how smaller municipalities can too. His strategy? Constant innovation. The public will always look for the next big thing\, so governments large and small must always reinvent themselves in order to stay relevant. Diaz—who is frequently approached by mayors from across the nation  about rebranding their cities—will share his strategies and insights with you to help you successfully transform your community.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text] \n \nMICHAEL MELNIK\, WORKPLACE SAFETY AND PRODUCTIVITY EXPERT \nMichael Melnik is an occupational therapist with a Master’s degree in exercise physiology.

DESCRIPTION:Webinar – PERMA Program Agreement Discussion Panel \nFebruary 14\, 1-2pm \nIn October 2017\, the PERMA Board of Directors approved a revised Program Agreement to unify all PERMA members under the same language\, and all members have been asked to execute new agreements. To help clarify many of the changes in the agreements\, we are bringing together Al Campney\, senior director of underwriting and marketing\, and Christian Summers\, risk services program manager. Al and Christian will be talking about: \n\nHow the Payroll Classification\, Contributions\, and PERMA Advance Discounts section changed to better represent the PERMA underwriting process and how contributions are calculated.\nMembers’ liabilities in regards to their claims and the NYS Workers’ Compensation Board’s  (WCB) authority to determine PERMA’s solvency.\nNew detailed requirements for members to have a named Safety Coordinator and a Safety Committee that meets quarterly\, at minimum. Data has shown that\, historically\, organizations with an engaged safety culture have lower loss frequency and severity than comparable organizations without active risk management.\n\nTime will be left after the presentation for registrant questions. \n  \nREGISTER by February 9

An employee handbook is a valuable communications tool that sets forth the organization’s policies\, procedures\, practices\, and benefits to employees. Having clearly stated policies and procedures will help supervisors and department heads maintain consistency in implementing and enforcing policies. \nFor employees\, written policies and procedures help: \n\nreduce any misunderstandings employees might have about what is expected of them\norient new employees to the organization\nlong-term employees\, who use the employee handbook is a resource guide for when they have questions or need further information.\n\nEmployee handbooks are important not only for what they say but also for what they don’t say. Because a poorly written employee handbook can create liability for an employer\, it is imperative to have a good understanding sound policy development. \nThis seminar will explore the case for written policies\, and will focus on what should and should not be included in a well-written employee handbook. \nThis course has been approved for 2 Specified Credit Hours: HR (General) recertification credit hours toward aPHR™\, PHR®\, PHRca®\, SPHR®\, GPHR®\, PHRi™\, SPHRi™ recertification through HR Certification Institute’s® (HRCI®).[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1505486721923{padding-bottom: 1px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_separator color=”white”][vc_text_separator title=”SESSION II”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text] \nThe 2017 Workers’ Compensation Reforms\nPresented by Lev Ginsburg\, Business Council of New York State \nIn April of this year\, the State legislature approved a wide-range of reforms to the New York workers’ compensation system that were seen as a compromise\namong the needs of injured workers\, employers\, and carriers.

The hotel also offers a salt water pool\, a fitness center\, and an outdoor fire pit for after-dinner socializing. \nThis year we are offering a Dine Around\, with some of the best food and beverages Schenectady has to offer\, discounted only for conference attendees. \nAnd entertainment options abound. \nSchenectady is home to Proctors Theatre\, the crown jewel of the downtown area. With dozens of national touring Broadway shows\, as well as other world-class entertainment\, there is something at this vaudeville style theatre for everyone. On November 2\, the national tour of Fun Home comes to Proctors. Fun Home was the winner of the 2015 Tony Award for Best Musical. \nJust 1/2 mile from the DoubleTree is Union College\, the oldest non-denominational institute of higher learning in New York\, and the second-oldest in the United States\, chartered in 1795. Union boasts many famous alumni\, including two presidents: Chester A. Arthur\, and Jimmy Carter. On November 2 & 3\, Union’s Mandeville Gallery will host an exhibition from artist Laini Nemett\, who works with cardboard models\, collage\, and large scale oil paintings to create architectural environments that explore the idea of “home.” \nLocated on the same block as Proctors is Bow Tie Cinemas\, one of the newest attractions to downtown. Showing the latest releases on digital projection\nscreens\, you can unwind with a glass of wine in one of their stadium seating auditoriums. And just 1.5 miles down the road is the family-run Scotia Cinema. Open since 1929\, the Scotia Cinema has been extensively renovated while still maintaining old-fashioned movie house charm. The movies are second-run\, but admission is only $5\, and the inexpensive concession selection can’t be beat. \nJust a short drive from the hotel is the Via Aquarium\, the first of its kind in the Capital Region. Opened in 2016\, Via Aquarium uses cutting-edge technology and extraordinary exhibits of marine life to plunge visitors in the fascinating world beneath the sea. Among the aquarium features are an exhibit of fish native to the Adirondacks\, shark tunnels\, and not one\, not two\, but THREE separate touch pools. \nAnd finally\, one mile away from the hotel is the brand-new Rivers Casino. The casino features over 1000 unique slot games; 67 live table games\, including a\nhigh-roller room; a poker room; five dining options\, including Duke’s Chophouse; and an on-site deluxe spa.

His education as a risk manager and experience as a practicing attorney\, coupled with his extensive background in law enforcement\, have allowed him to become a leading professional speaker on public safety. \nGordon Graham is law enforcement’s leading expert on risk management\, but the central theme of his messages can be applied to any job in any industry\, as well as outside the workplace. Simply put\, Graham’s philosophy is that risk management is the process of looking into the future (short or long term) and asking what can go wrong and then doing something about it to prevent it from going wrong. \nWith more than four decades of related experience in his field\, Graham convinces audiences everywhere that identifiable risks are manageable risks. He has dedicated his professional life to helping others find ways of minimizing risk to protect themselves from the grievous consequences that can be suffered when a tragedy\, which could have been prevented/avoided\, occurs. \nGraham champions developing and utilizing sound policies to ensure that tasks are managed properly. But you must never stop – you must continuously look at the way you do things and apply effective analyses to determine whether or not there are risks lurking within your life and activities. And management is more responsible than anyone – identifying risky situations\, creating and delivering appropriate policy\, and regular practicing preventative behaviors so that they become second nature. \nGraham’s career with the California Highway Patrol is legendary\, but that experience is but one part of a life in which he has studied all aspects of risk management. Today\, he serves as the president of Lexipol (from Latin meaning public safety policy) where he continues to share his message with the public-safety community. He is an inspiration to anyone serving\, or having served\, in the field of law enforcement and related professions. Every person\, especially those in public service\, could benefit from an hour or two with the dynamic\, but grounded\, Gordon Graham.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1455311117192{padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1455300166500{padding-right: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1487095086287{padding-right: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”] \n  \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”Accommodations”][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text] \nAccommodation Information\nPERMA will make your room reservation.
