2023 08: The Value of Volunteering (August Webinar)

TRACK: Other I PRESENTERS: Andy Hellman, Mark Sward, Chetan Desai, Laura Rosianu I IN THIS SESSION: The PBSA depends on volunteer efforts, and some of the best work by our association is done or led by volunteers. Volunteer efforts are a two-way street: volunteers both contribute to the greater good and gain from their contributions through learning and experience they would not otherwise get. The current chairs of each regional chapter of the PBSA will come together to discuss their own volunteering, both in terms of their most valuable contributions as well as what they have taken away from their experience and will share their thoughts on how best to bring volunteers in and keep them engaged to ensure the ongoing success of both the association and the volunteers themselves.

2023 04: Effective Use of Experts in Screening Actions (April Webinar)

TRACK: Tenant Screening I PRESENTERS: Dave Gettings, Tim St George and Jessica Lohr I IN THIS SESSION: Screening cases require a company to marshal many different forms of proof. This evidence can come from the parties themselves ? whether it is information on the screening company's internal procedures, information on the substance of the report at issue, or information on the damages. Sometimes evidence is not enough for a screening company to tell the story of the case. We will discuss leveraging experts in screening litigation, including some "out-of-the box" uses that may not be readily-apparent, but can prove extremely effective.
