2020 OMAA/OML WEBINAR:
MANAGING EMPLOYEES IN AN ELECTION YEAR
THURSDAY, JANUARY 23RD, 2020 11:00AM-12:00AM EST
COST: $125 PER REGISTRANT - REGISTRATION LIMITED TO 50 REGISTRANTS
PER SESSION. (There is no CLE credit for these webinars.)
PROGRAM OVERVIEW:
Public employees don’t forfeit their rights to participate in the democratic process. At the same time,
public employers have legitimate interests in maintaining proper order and decorum. Many states
have rules concerning the political activities of public employees. These issues are exacerbated in an
election year. This webinar will address some of the legal issues public employers can expect to face
as we near the 2020 presidential campaign. Topics will include a discussion of public employers’
rights and limitations with a focus on constitutional issues and the use of social media.
