The Obama National Labor Relations Board
Live Seminar & Webinar Simulcast
Wednesday, May 22, 2013

Location: GBCA Offices, 36 S. 18th Street, Philadelphia, PA
Over the last year, the National Labor Relations Board has been churning out a series of decisions that not only impact your workplace, but also the way you conduct business. That is, of course, if the Board survives a series of pending legal challenges from leading business organizations, which argue that several of President Obama’s appointments to the Board are unconstitutional.
Please join Dilworth Paxson LLP labor attorneys Erin Galbally, Eric Meyer, and Joseph Rudolf as they review recent Board decisions, break down the buzz on the Board brouhaha, predict future enforcement trends, and offer several best practices on how to safeguard your business.
This event is FREE to attend, but space is limited.
RSVP by May 20 to Mary Meszaros at mmeszaros@gbca.com.Please indicate if you plan to attend the live breakfast presentation or the webinar.
Webinar login information will be included in your RSVP confirmation.

The collaboration process between architects, contractors and owners has never been better and the stakes have never been higher. With prices and demand going up, the building & design community has had to adopt new processes and most of them revolve around team collaboration.
On Tuesday, June 11, the AIA-GBCA Joint Committee will present a live presentation featuring the use of Building Information Technology (BIM) and Web-based Project Management Systems. Participants will include BIM and Project Management Staff from Torcon, Design Professionals from The Ballinger Company and you, the audience, at the Center for Architecture.
BIM and web-based management tools help architects, contractors and engineers make informed decisions throughout the design and construction process. A BIM model becomes a repository of building information critical to the long term use by the building owner. Web-based tools keep the project information flow moving quickly and efficiently. You’ll see for yourself how collaboration is key to the continued success of the building & design community and how these tools support the process.
This program will be helpful for anyone in the building and design industry who wants to get a better understanding of the collaboration process, especially those new to the architecture, engineering and construction fields.
Qualifies for 1.5 AIA/CES CEHs
