Marijuana Legalization & The Workforce

Marijuana Legalization & The Workforce
What it Means for Employers
April 29, 2019
The Best Western Plus / North Metro Event Center
1000 Gramsie Road, Shoreview
11:30am Registration | 12:00 - 1:15pm Program
Lunch Included

  
The legalization of recreational marijuana in Minnesota could   become a reality, as early as this year. While there are many social aspects to this debate, the issue that has hardly been discussed relates to the impact of marijuana usage on employee policies, overall employee productivity, and other factors affecting the workplace itself. Mr. Curtis Graves, Esp. SPHR, of the Colorado Employer’s Council will share insights on these, and other, topics that Colorado businesses have addressed since 2014 when marijuana became legal in their state.  

The cost to attend this luncheon is $35 for Chamber Members and $45 for Non-Chamber Members. Space is limited and registration is required. 

        

Teacher Externships

2019 TEACHER EXTERNSHIP PROGRAM​
  
    

The White Bear Area Chamber of Commerce, Mn Chamber of Commerce, Northeast Metro Perkins Consortium and the White Bear Lake Area Schools are partnering together to offer a Teacher Externship program to our members. We have a group of eligible educators that will be placed in a member business with the focus on building a bridge between skills-based and knowledge-based education. 

It is vital that our education system partners with area businesses so that relevant connections between classroom content and students’ future career interest can be realized. Through this unique professional development opportunity, educators from around the area will be selected to work side-by-side with an industry peer during a 5 day paid summer externship experience at a participating White Bear Area Chamber of Commerce member business. If your business is interested in hosting a Teacher in your workplace, please email Shari at the Chamber Office or call 651-429-8593. There is no cost to businesses to participate in this exciting program!

Rethink Recycling


ALL ABOUT FOOD WASTE

Nearly 400,000 tons of waste are generated from businesses in Ramsey and Washington Counties, and almost 30% of that waste consists of food and food-soiled paper. By recycling food waste, restaurants, grocery stores, wholesale food distributors and commercial kitchens can put a lot of food to good use, keep food waste out of the trash and reduce the amount of waste going to landfills.
 

Save the dates for future Ribbon Cuttings & After Hours Networking!
