Join Fisher & Phillips for a breakfast briefing on: 
What employers need to know about the new Form I-9
After January 21, 2017 all previous versions of Form I-9 will be invalid.  Are you ready for the change? Properly completing and maintaining I-9 employment eligibility verification forms for each employee is a critical element of every employer's regulatory compliance. Why? Because I-9 compliance errors can be very costly and can include jail time for employers who knowingly hire undocumented workers (not to mention legal fees and lost productivity).
Attorneys from Fisher Phillips' Immigration Practice Group will walk you through the new Form I-9 process and lead an in-depth discussion of what you need to do to comply with I-9 filing requirements - including what could happen if you don't.

Preferred Vendor Program

Vendors, are you planning your 2017 budget?  
Remember your MCASF Preferred Vendor Membership!
Considering joining? Here's what one MCASF Preferred Vendor had to say:

I wanted to thank you - you make it worth it for a vendor like us to return each year. I have joined other associations in the past and only were a member for a year before I realized it was a waste of money.  But it's totally worth it to be a member of the MCASF. It has helped with our relationships and put us in a better position for more business.
