The speaker will be from True, Walsh and Miller, LLP, a firm that specializes in immigration law.
The workshop will be held from 8:30-11:30 a.m. at the Cortland Country Club. The program is $20 and includes a continental breakfast. Reservations are required and may be made by calling the Cortland County BDC-IDA at (607) 756-5005 or by e-mail at eta@cortlandbusiness.com
