Commissioner Butler has been committed to reshaping the way the state views the operations of a labor department and its relationship to economic development and the private sector. During his presentation he will provide updates and introduce new and exciting initiatives concerning the Department’s work with education, business, and more.
During the event Costco, Top of Georgia/ DOL, and Family Crisis Center will profile their business with spotlight tables and door prizes.
