 Hope
you enjoyed the holiday weekend!
The AeA Cybercities 2008 report was released last week, and it shows
that Orange County's technology industry is still growing and created
almost 1,300 new jobs despite a growing unemployment rate in other
sectors. The Inland Empire created twice as many high-tech jobs as OC and,
in fact, led the country in tech employment growth measured by percentage
(29%).
A highly-skilled workforce is the lifeblood of the technology industry.
Unfortunately, American universities are not graduating enough scientists
and engineers to support continued growth. The most common challenge,
shared by 100% of the participants on our HR roundtable, is recruiting
qualified talent. Formal education from kindergarten through college is
crucial and will require creative solutions to stimulate continuous
education.
For this reason, AeA will continue to support our local K-12 schools
and help promote science and math programs. We will continue to partner
our members with the colleges and universities for leadership, research,
internship, and mentorship opportunities. We will expand our support for
non-profit educational organizations like Project Tomorrow and MIND
Research Institute. AeA will also open up the Technology Education
Foundation to local control of donated funds originating from Orange,
Riverside, and San Bernardino Counties.
Growth in the technology industry in Southern California will continue
only if we can sustain a robust pool of talent. Please join us in
advancing the business of technology.
Please continue scrolling down for more AeA member news and upcoming
events details. Have a great week!
Regards,
Don Hicks
AeA/OC Executive Director

AeA Orange County HR
Roundtable: Dangerous Documents - What you don’t know CAN hurt you!
Mark your calendar September 9, 2008, for the next
AeA Orange County HR Roundtable: Dangerous Documents - What You
Don't Know CAN Hurt You!
at
EADS North America Defense
Test & Services, Irvine,
CA. This program will address how common documents, including,
employment-related documents, have the potential to come back to
haunt you, and what steps you can take today to avoid tomorrow’s
headaches. We will present some key challenges and approaches to
this issue and offer tips on how you can avoid simple errors that
can lead to costly lawsuits.
Who Should Attend…
This program is designed for senior level managers and HR
personnel who need:
Effective strategies for identifying and addressing legal
risks created by your company’s documentation process.
Employee policies to ensure your staff understands corporate
email is not entitled to privacy protection.
Legal recommendations on how to win litigation if these
methods fail.
Topics to be discussed, led by expert attorneys Bruce May,
Partner at Stradling, Yocca, Carlson, & Rauth and Dale Hudson,
Counsel at Nixon Peabody include the following: What dangerous
documents exist in your company’s files?
Which documents are the most
trouble? How can you avoid turning your company’s documents into
dangerous documents? What tools can you provide your managers to
help them comply with legal do’s and don’ts? How emails have become
a company’s nightmare and a lawyer’s dream.
What can your company do to minimize legal risks created by
emails?
With email and other computer-generated
records among the most dangerous of company records, we will examine
best practices for handling these. While often written hastily as a
substitute for a telephone
call, recent legal developments have shown that email can be used
in litigation in ways and with interpretations never intended by the
author.
