Legislation, Regulation and Small Business – 2009 Outlook Webinar

CLICK HERE TO REGISTER FOR WEBINAR

As U.S. chemicals policy moves forward in conjunction with a much-anticipated congressional review, this session will offer an expert outlook on TSCA Reform and where Nanotechnology legislation is heading.  Are the two on a collision course?  How will small business be affected by the impending changes in an already rocky economic climate?  As large companies and federal agencies continue to research issues such as ways to protect workers, will this information trickle down to the small companies that cannot afford such research themselves?  This webinar is one way in which small companies can make sure they keep abreast of science and best practices.
