April Monthly Luncheon
Responding

....to Workplace Violence

Be prepared.
 
Just last week, major public and commercial businesses were locked down for hours in Dallas. While the incident didn't originate in YOUR workplace, it did affect .. and scare... hundreds of people, innocent bystanders. Could it have been you? Could you have been on a museum visit with your kids? Or having coffee on a plaza area? Or maybe, you were staying at one of the downtown hotels? Yes, Workplace Violence just took on a whole new, PERSONAL meaning. It could happen to you ...outside the workplace!
