The National Council of Agricultural Employers has announced its agenda for its 10th Annual Ag Employer Labor Forum.
The event is set for Nov. 29 through Dec. 1 at the M Resort outside of Las Vegas, according to a news release. The labor forum will provide attendees with an opportunity to engage with industry leaders in discussions on issues affecting agricultural employers, the release said.
“This year’s labor forum is shaping up to be the best yet with hot topics that agricultural employers cannot miss,” NCAE President and CEO Michael Marsh said in the release. “We have stimulating speakers discussing timely topics for employers where attendees can receive continuing education credit from the Society for Human Resource Management.”
Attorneys, academics, agents and representatives from federal agencies and foreign governments will be on hand to dive headfirst into labor issues facing U.S. agricultural employers, according to the release. Rulemaking changes, reports on agricultural labor data and presentations on the latest legislation impacting farm and ranch operations will be highlighted, as will compliance issues relative to ag employment.
Also featured this year will be concurrent sessions highlighting not only hot legal topics facing ag employers, tips to navigate the administration’s activist regulatory hammer, and compliance considerations for farm labor contractors, but also how to responsibly recruit high-quality employees in a cost-effective manner, the release said.
The evening of the forum’s first day will be topped off with a wine-tasting reception featuring premium Washington wines from Mercer Ranches, the release said.
“With all of the activity in the agricultural labor space this year, this year’s Forum is an event not to miss,” Marsh said in the release.
