Good morning - I wanted to give a quick plug to several sessions at the upcoming IMLA Conference (which starts next week) that are relevant to the COVID-19 Working Group: * Employment Law: Navigating the New Hybrid Workforce (including a discussion of vaccine / mask issues for local government employers). This session is being offered in person and virtually. * American Recovery Plan: What Local Government Lawyers Need to Know. This session is being offered in person and virtually. * Employment Law Section Meeting: Managing Unionized Workforces After 2020. This session is being offered in person and virtually. * International Committee: COVID-19 Mandates: An International Perspective. This session is being offered in person and virtually. * Code Enforcement Program: Post-Pandemic Nuisance Abatement.

There is still time to register for the IMLA annual conference in Minneapolis or for the virtual conference if you can't be there in person. The conference starts next week (9/29 - 10/3)!! In person registrants will have access to all the sessions and great networking opportunities with your colleagues from around the country. Virtual registrants will have access to approximately 35 of the sessions via either video or teleconference broadcast and both in person and virtual registrants will receive all of the recordings of the sessions that are being offered virtually included with their registrations.
