The Americans with Disabilities Act is one of the most litigated and misunderstood employment laws in our nation's history.  Now that the ADA Amendments Act has been in force the last year or so, it is time to look at the impact of the new law on issues like "Who is disabled?", "Who is a qualified person with a disability?", "What are reasonable accommodations?'' and many other important, practical compliance and management questions. 

As an HR professional or a member of management in your organization, you will not want to miss this fast-paced, interactive presentation by W. Kirk Turner of the Tulsa law firm, Newton, O'Connor, Turner & Ketchum.  Kirk is one of the most knowledgeable and sought after speakers in the country on labor and employment law topics, and is a regular presenter for TAHRA, the Oklahoma State HR Conference and at many other HR and professional associations.  Kirk's practical and humorous training sessions provide valuable and useful information for anyone seeking to understand or comply with the ADA.  If you find navigating the ADA or managing employee medical or leave issues challenging, you must attend this Program Meeting.  

Kirk Turner is the leader of the firm's Labor and Employment Law Group and spends a great deal of his time providing proactive counsel and training to employers of all size.  Kirk has more than 20 years of experience in labor and employment law, has been regularly recognized as one of the Best Lawyers in America and has been honored as an Oklahoma Super Lawyer in the area of labor and employment law.   Kirk has also served on the Board of Directors for TAHRA and the Oklahoma State Council for Human Resource Management for more years than he can count.
