The BX Golf Outing is continuing to grow, and this year’s event is shaping up to be the biggest yet! For the first time, the outing will expand to four courses, creating even more opportunities to bring the industry together while raising funds to support the BX Scholarship Program.
A team of dedicated volunteers plays a vital role in making sure the outing runs smoothly from start to finish. To support this year’s expanded event, the BX is looking for members to join the Golf Committee – a group that helps guide planning efforts and supports the logistics that bring the outing together.
Serving on the Golf Committee is a great way to connect with fellow members while helping shape one of the BX’s most popular annual events. Help us make this year’s outing not just the biggest, but the best yet!
For more information or to join the team, contact Pam Austin.

Managing an employee’s time off and return to work can be challenging. Keeping track of FMLA, ADA and Workers' Compensation requires an understanding of the requirements and regulations for each program.
Beyond time off is the question of when the employee can return to work, and in what capacity. Are you prepared to answer employee questions and share available options?
At the April HR Group meeting, hosted by Marker, Inc., Attorney Pamela Krivda (Taft Law) will provide an overview of the laws surrounding time off and return to work, and answer questions from the group.
If your role includes human resources, you’re encouraged to join the April conversation and the BX HR Group. The group gathers up to nine times each year for a mix of educational programs, peer discussions and social events.
For more information about the BX HR Group, contact Deb Murphy.

Driving is one of the most common (and most dangerous) tasks employees perform during the workday. The SAFE PACE Defensive Driving Training introduces a simple, practical system that helps drivers stay ahead of hazards:
This approach gives participants strategies they can immediately use whether they’re navigating busy jobsites, traveling highways or backing into tight spaces.
Participants will work through hands-on driving scenarios, practice backing and parking techniques and take part in blind spot awareness exercises that show how quickly everyday driving situations can escalate. Led by Keith Snead, the session focuses on improving driver awareness, reducing vehicle incidents and claims, and reinforcing a culture where every driver takes responsibility.
