  At the  MLGHRA meeting on July 11, 2019, Atty. Allen Kropp from Drummond Woodsum will be providing a training session on Conducting Investigations.  This is a complimentary training provided by MLGHRA for all members and invited guests.  Linda Corliss, HR Director from York County, will be hosting the meeting at her office in Alfred, Maine.  As this is a special event, we wanted you to get this on your calendar now!

  This important training is intended to provide officials responsible for addressing complaints of discrimination, harassment, and workplace misconduct with the critical knowledge and skills to conduct thorough and effective investigations.  The focus will be on the key aspects of investigations, including planning, preparing questions and conducting interviews, assessing credibility, reaching appropriate findings, and writing effective reports.  This is a challenging area of our work and often difficult for in house staff to conduct.

  Atty. Allen Kropp specializes in civil rights and disability law and is a seasoned investigator with extensive experience in investigating and resolving sensitive and complex grievances or disputes.

  Please RSVP directly to Stephanie Weaver, Board Member and Treasurer of MLGHRA at sweaver@southportland.org if you are interested in attending, so we can plan accordingly for this special event
