Meeting/Event Information

Immigration enforcement is no longer just a compliance consideration—it has become an immediate operational issue for employers across industries. Rising I-9 audits, unannounced government visits, employee anxiety, and workplace disruptions are creating complex legal, HR, and business challenges that many organizations are encountering for the first time. Join us for an interactive roundtable designed specifically for HR professionals and business leaders to address these challenges directly.

NKY SHRM Legislative Co-chairs Sarah Clay Leyshock, Esq., employment law Partner at Taft Stettinius & Hollister LLP, and Allyson True Cook, JD, President/CEO at Erigo Employer Solutions,  and special guest Emily Cashell, Esq., immigration attorney with Taft Stettinius & Hollister LLP, will lead a candid, non-political, solutions-focused discussion grounded in current employment law and real-world scenarios.

The discussion will cover key issues including:

• Preparing for and responding to I-9 audits and Notices of Inspection
• Best practices if ICE or other enforcement agents visit your workplace
• Managing employee fear, morale challenges, and attendance concerns
• Navigating workplace tensions related to immigration and political speech
• Responding to walkouts, protests, or refusals to work connected to political or social issues

This is a timely and essential conversation for organizations seeking actionable guidance in today’s enforcement environment.  Come ready to share your experiences, ask questions, and learn from peers and experts in a collaborative setting. We look forward to seeing you!
