Employees vs. Independent Contractors: Does Your Business Know the Difference?

Improper classification of employees as independent contractors can have a serious impact on a business if the U.S. Department of Labor and/or State Department of Labor don’t agree. Join Senior Partner Christine Malafi to take a closer look at the differences.

Friday, September 20, 2019
8:00 AM at the Miller Business Center, 101 Eastwood Blvd., Centereach, NY 11720. The event will include networking and light refreshments.
Tickets are complimentary, but registration is required. Register here.

Presented by Joe Campolo, Esq.

You can make plans, write down goals, dream big – but none of that matters if you can’t execute.

How do you close the gap between results planned and results delivered? Join us for an in-depth look at the art of execution: how to get out there every day and implement the strategies to get things done. Whether you’re looking to boost the productivity culture at your organization, start a new venture, or otherwise make an impact, this seminar will help you translate words and thoughts into action.

Based on Long Island business leader Joe Campolo’s take on Larry Bossidy and Ram Charan’s bestseller Execution, this presentation will cover:

• Setting clear goals and priorities
• Building blocks of execution
• Follow through
• Shifting the culture at your organization
• Expanding capabilities
• Linking people, strategy, and operations to get things done

CMM Academy has provided a linear series of events for Long Island business leaders – from advanced negotiation to Marine Corps leadership principles to the management strategies of GE’s Jack Welch. Execution is the natural progression of these lessons, because no matter what we say or what we think, what truly matters is what we do.

8:30 a.m.: Registration, networking and breakfast
9:00-10:00 a.m.: Presentation

Located at Chancellors Hall at Stony Brook Southampton Campus.

The newly renamed Innovation Park at Hauppauge (formerly the Hauppauge Industrial Park) is the second largest industrial park in the nation (second only to Silicon Valley) and the anchor of Long Island’s economy. The Park has the highest concentration of tradable industry businesses on Long Island (those that bring new dollars to the region) and is the best opportunity for Island-wide economic development.

Join us to hear from Terri Alessi-Miceli, President & CEO of HIA-LI, the recognized voice for Long Island business and steward of the Park, and Joe Campolo, Managing Partner of Campolo, Middleton & McCormick and Board Chairman of HIA-LI. They’ll discuss the economic impact study that first revealed the Park’s economic power, the extraordinary results of the recent opportunity analysis, new economic strategies to facilitate business growth, efforts to strengthen training and workforce development, and the creation of partnerships among businesses, government, and institutions.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn about HIA-LI’s industry-focused approach to economic revitalization for Long Island and how your business can get involved no matter where on the Island you’re located!
