The world of work is changing. The need for a flexible workforce is on the rise and because of this, the partnership between an organization and its staffing agency has evolved. As joint employers, it is important to understand the roles and responsibilities of each party involved. This Lunch & Learn session will provide attendees with practical advice on co-employment concerns and provide best practices in implementing the new OSHA/NIOSH recommended practices.

Sponsorship & Exhibit Opportunities
Age of Opportunity Job & Volunteer Fair

The Chamber's Business & Workforce Development Committee is once again holding its Age of Opportunity Job & Volunteer Fair, Tuesday, September 22, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon at Oakwood Mall.
This is an excellent opportunity for your organization to interact with experienced, dependable and motivated workers interested in part time, full time, seasonal or volunteer opportunities. It takes place during National Employ Older Workers Week.
Sponsorship includes your logo on all advance promotional materials, prominent exposure during the event, and an exhibit table. Sponsorships are $150 for Chamber members ($195 for non-members). Exhibit tables without a sponsorship are $60 for Chamber members ($85 for non-members).
For questions or more information, contact Scott Rogers (715-858-0616)

Group Project Ideas Needed
The Chamber is requesting service projects for both our adult and Youth Leadership Eau Claire programs. Are you involved with a non-profit organization and have a project that you need help with? Submit a proposal!
What kind of projects?
Each year, we divide our LEC and YLEC classes into teams of 6-9 people to work on community service projects.
For the youth program, the projects that work the best are projects the teenagers can feel passionate about, work together as a team and accomplish something positive for the community. In the past, groups have painted murals, created programming events for children, cleaned up parks, etc.
For the adult program, we ask for project ideas that are more in-depth than simple volunteer tasks, such as painting a room. In the past, groups have designed signage for Beaver Creek Reserve, planned large events like the Holiday Parade and created volunteer manuals and databases.
What doesn't work?
NO fund raising projects of any kind will be accepted. This includes asking the group to plan an event that is intended as a fund raiser. Also, the projects may not be political.
Deadlines
YLEC - July 17
Proposals for the YOUTH program are due by Friday, July 17. More information and a proposal form are available here.
LEC - August 1
Proposals for the ADULT program are due by Friday, August 1. More information and a proposal form are available here.
A list of all past group projects is available here.
If you have any questions, please contact Becky Seelen< (715-858-0615).
