2014 TRC - Education Luncheon - HB5 1 year Later

Description

A strong workforce strengthens our businesses and community, providing a sustainable economy that will carry Lubbock into the future. Today’s child is tomorrow’s employee and the knowledge and experience they will take to the workplace will have ramifications felt for many years. House Bill 5 was passed almost a year ago and the changes made by school districts statewide to implement these new regulations is entering the second phase. What have our local school districts learned and how is the business community being affected? Martin Rowley is an attorney and certified mediator from Amarillo. He was elected to the State Board of Education in November 2012 and serves as vice chair of the board’s Committee on School Initiatives. Rowley is a member of the Texas State Bar Association, the Amarillo Bar Association, American Board of Trial Advocates, American Association of Mediators and the Texas Association of Mediators. Representing the citizens of District 15, Rowley is an active community member and will serve as our featured speaker. A panel of local educators and business people will follow the presentation with a Q&A session to address audience questions.
