Urge MA House and Senate to Vote "No" on Anti-Staffing Legislation - H. 4623 and S. 680

Check out these pictures from the 2010 NEAPS Conference held at Ocean's Edge Resort!

A very special thanks to Bob Schecter, Principal, Bartleby Scriveners, for providing these great pictures!

A few weeks back, I gave a talk to members concerning the Massachusetts Noncompetition Agreement Act (NCAA) that is being considered in the Massachusetts legislature.  If adopted, the NCAA will dramatically impact the enforcement of noncompetition agreements in the Commonwealth.

I have attached two documents.  The first is the current draft of the bill, which I understand was referred to the Judiciary Committee earlier today.  The second is a copy of a white paper that I prepared discussing the key features of the bill.

Plan Now to Call Your Senators Friday

Good Morning All

The 2010 NEAPS recruiting conference had some great nuggets of information this year. I always look forward to walking away from the conference with a handful of new ideas to implement the following week. Topics covered:

* working through the recession and changes needed to come through strong on the other end

* Social networking and recruiting... how are they best married and why

* Sales is not sales. It's having a solution to a problem.

* How to come to a win / win in negotiating.

Bob Norton, CSP, MAPS SVP Membership and Principal, Franklin Key Associates will present a fast-paced one hour seminar at WIND North next Wednesday , 4/14 at 11:00am at WIND/North, Wilmington United Methodist Church.  There is a $10 charge to support the mutual support efforts of www.windnetworking.net

The board of directors of MAPS agree with the stance both ASA and MSA are taking on these two important issues.   The board strongly urges the membership to take an active voice in preventing these bills from passing where they can cause severe damage to our businesses and our profession.
