SUMMARY:Franchise Fit: Evaluating franchises as a path to business ownership
DESCRIPTION:Is a Franchise Right for You?\nHave you dreamed of owning your own business? A way to leave the corporate world behind to work for yourself? You like the idea of a challenging life running your own company\, but maybe you don’t want to start completely from scratch. \nGoing out on your own with an untried idea is a bit intimidating. You’d like to find a path that has already been shown to work\, that you can get moving more quickly. It’s an opportunity for you to take charge of your journey. To work towards financial independence\, without the uncertainty of a startup from scratch. \nIn this informative session you will learn how buying into an existing franchise could be just the ticket. Our guest speaker\, Heather Rosen\, is the President of FranNet of Virginia\, a leading franchise advisory and development services firm. As an attorney who worked with small businesses for years she brings a unique perspective to the discussion and has been helping people search for their franchise fit since 2009. \nHeather will lead a conversation about how franchises work\, the best way to find one that’s a fit for your situation\, and how to avoid some common pitfalls that can trip you up. You’ll learn more about the life cycle of a franchise and how to be smart evaluating and choosing a franchise\, including looking at existing franchises in your area. We will also talk about how to plan the kind of exit you want down the road. \nThis in-person program will help you make sense of the franchising world and start you on a path to making good choices in your own small business adventure. There is no cost for the event but we do ask that you pre-register to ensure we hold a seat for you (and your partner too). \nThis is a live\, in-person event so there will be no recording of the session available afterwards. Please be on time so you get all the valuable information provided! \nOne Session\, Live\, In-Person Session in Room A at the Cascades Public Library in Sterling

SUMMARY:Job Accommodations for Individuals in Recovery (Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will discuss reasonable accommodations in the workplace for individuals with addiction and substance use disorders. \nThis event is hosted by the Office of Workforce Investment as part of a series on opioid-addiction and the role of the workforce system. \nThis webinar is presented by Job Accommodation Network (JAN) on reasonable accommodations in the workplace for individuals with addiction and substance use disorders. JAN is a service of the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Disability Employment Policy/ODEP. \nJAN provides free one-on-one practical guidance and technical assistance on: Job accommodation solutions and Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and related legislation. This webinar will include a walk through on how to use JAN services and a breakdown of ADA concepts including – what is an accommodation\, how individuals meet the definition of disability under the ADA\, and how individuals may disclose and ask for modifications in the workplace. There will also be many real examples from JAN customers to illustrate the interactive process.

SUMMARY:Janelia Conference- The Role of Adhesion Complexes\, Cell Recognition\, and Neural Activity during Circuit Assembly
DESCRIPTION:This meeting will focus on molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying the formation of precise patterns of synaptic connectivity. Over the past decade\, considerable progress has been made in uncovering the molecular identity and structure of adhesion complexes at synapses\, diverse cell surface recognition molecules contributing to wiring specificity\, and the role of activity in sculpting the neural circuitry. In parallel\, detailed connectomics at the light microscopy and EM level have uncovered the extraordinary specificity and complexity of connectivity\, and single cell sequencing has defined cell types and cell-type specific patterns of cell-surface protein expression during circuit assembly. Light microscopic techniques from super-resolution to expansion microscopy and live imaging have led to important advances in uncovering cell biological mechanisms of circuit assembly. Presentations and discussions will highlight important advances in the field and consider current challenges and future directions.
