Topic:Addressing Those “Uh Oh” Situations in Your Contracts
Speaker: Tyra Hillard, PhD, JD, CMP

Using scenarios that address real issues like construction and remodeling, dishonored reservations, conflicting groups, drone photography, and more, we’ll discuss what you should have in your contracts to prevent the issue from occurring or mitigate the damage if it does occur. Groups will have a chance to review scenarios and discuss in small groups before sharing solutions.
