AWCC Educational Conference to be Held in October

The Arkansas Workers’ Compensation Commission (AWCC) announced that its 17th annual educational conference will be held Oct. 13 – 15, 2004 in Little Rock.

The conference traditionally mixes in-depth study programs with networking opportunities for stakeholders in the workers’ compensation system.

Keynote speaker will be Richard K. Pimentel, senior partner with Milt Wright & Associates, Inc., a California consultation firm involved in job retention, workplace attitudes and workers’ compensation. He spoke at the 14th AWCC Educational Conference and received overwhelming praise. Attendee comment cards were so positive that the AWCC has invited him back to address other issues challenging the workers’ compensation community.
