SUMMARY:Raleigh/Wake County Hotel and Restaurant GM/Owner Forum
DESCRIPTION:Register Here\nHuman trafficking networks often rely on legitimate businesses—many in the tourism supply chain—to sustain their illicit and illegal operations. Hoteliers are uniquely positioned to identify and disrupt this practice and can therefore play an important role in combatting trafficking through: \n\nraising awareness\,\nimproved coordination with law enforcement and\nongoing workforce training.\n\nCome learn from Raleigh Police Department human trafficking specialists about how you and your employees can become a part of this national effort to fight back against human trafficking and send a loud and clear message: We will not tolerate human trafficking in the hotel industry! \nGRCVB and legislative updates will follow the human trafficking presentation. \nThe forum is an initiative of GRCVB and the N.C. Restaurant and Lodging Association (NCRLA) to better connect Wake County hotels and restaurants with organizations and resources that can keep them informed on issues\, regulations and initiatives affecting their industries\, plus keep them informed on opportunities to elevate these local industries even more. NCRLA is proud to partner with the American Hotel and Lodging Association in the national No Room for Trafficking campaign to engage America’s lodging industry in helping to stop human trafficking. Join us for one of three educational and informational sessions to be held across the state and learn how you and your employees can become a part of this national effort to fight back against human trafficking and send a loud and clear message: We will not tolerate human trafficking in the hotel industry. \nHuman trafficking is incredibly widespread and our hotels have an important role to play in keeping our community and our hotels safe from this harm. \nWhere: \nNCRLA First-Floor Boardroom\n222 N. Person St.\nRaleigh\, NC 27601\nGet directions \nParking: There is free parking in front of and behind the building. \nThis event is free and open to all owners and general managers of Wake County hotels and restaurants.

SUMMARY:Dram Shop Law and Alcohol Liability Webinar
DESCRIPTION:North Carolina laws allow for an alcohol vendor (bar\, restaurant\, etc.) to be held liable for damages caused by over-served individuals–whether they are underage or not. \nIf an over-served individual leaves your establishment and causes harm to himself or others\, do you have policies in place that help or hurt you? Is your staff properly trained on responsible alcoholic service? Are they aware of the potential legal consequences if a drunk patron is involved in an accident after leaving your establishment? As an employee\, do you understand how you can be held liable for serving that next drink to a person who is clearly intoxicated? \nJoin NCRLA May 22\, at 3 p.m.\, for this free Alcohol Liability Webinar co-hosted with Cranfill Sumner & Hartzog LLP (CSH Law). Attorneys Deedee Gasch and Jennifer Welch of CSH Law will tell you what you need to know about North Carolina’s Dram Shop Laws and the best practices to avoid claims and protect yourself and your business in the event you find you are involved in a lawsuit. \nRegister here: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/1413490757523981571
