“Daily, employers are caught off guard when Immigration & Customs Enforcement agents come knocking at Human Resources’ door, seeking to conduct random Form I-9 audits. We want you to be prepared, proactive, and represented. I am relieved that so many employers see the value in this seminar – as the topic is timely and emergent,” said Lahoud.
