UTCA HOSTS 10TH ANNUAL CLIENT UPDATE
Springfield, MA, August 8, 2007-- Unemployment Tax Control Associates (UTCA), on Thursday October 4th, hosted their tenth annual client update at the Sheraton Springfield Monarch Place Hotel in Springfield, MA with over 80 guests attending, many traveling from Boston and Connecticut for the event. The Annual Update is a breakfast event offered to current clients annually, to provide them with an update of new and proposed laws associated with unemployment and employment law.
The event commenced with the UTCA staff performing a skit for the audience in which they demonstrated a workplace scenario to serve as an unemployment learning model, with Attorney Tim Phelan, Vice President of Client Relations, acting as moderator.
The event featured commentary from keynote speaker Professor Kevin Foley, Esq., who is the most recent past Chairman of the Massachusetts Board of Review, a three member panel responsible for deciding second level appeals of disputed unemployment insurance cases. Foley currently maintains his own legal practice and serves as a Boston-area Hearing Representative for UTCA clients. Meghan Sullivan, Esq., of the law firm Sullivan, Hayes, & Quinn of Springfield, served as the second speaker, and provided a “Year in Review” sampling of different regulatory updates and changes in the law.
“At UTCA we are committed to operating under a client-focused philosophy. The Annual Update is a continuance to the holistic approach we take with all of our clients. By providing a yearly update for our clients, we assist them in their goal to stay educated and effective around managing this cost area” said Suzanne Murphy, President and CEO of UTCA. “We are grateful to all who attended, and thank all who helped make the event such a wonderful success,” she said.
UTCA received positive feedback from client attendees after the event. “As usual, the UTCA Client Update was enjoyable as well as being very informative. I like to go each year to “freshen up” on unemployment compensation issues, and always leave with some tips and helpful advice. Also, Atty. Sullivan keeps things lively with her “hilarious” take on changes and trends in employment law” commented Barbara Stetynski, Director of Human Resources at The Loomis Communities.
