Keynote: James O’Connell Legislative Update
Tea Leaves and Fortune Cookies: Forecasting Compliance 2013-2014
Jobs, the economy, trillion-dollar budget deficits, a $15 trillion public debt burden and the future of healthcare reform, Social Security and Medicare make Election 2012 the most important in decades. How the President and Congress address these issues in 2013 and beyond will have profound implications for payroll and HR compliance.
Jim O’Connell returns to TPC with his crystal ball to forecast what’s likely to happen on the payroll tax holiday; the Patient Protection & Affordable Care Act; deficit reduction and America’s titanic public debt; the coming reform of the U.S. tax code; and Social Security. Jim will also contrast two scenarios for these issues depending on the outcome of Election Day 2012.

Drew Pearson: From the "Locker Room to the Boardroom"
My experiences as a Dallas Cowboy led to winning both on and off the field. The greatness of Tom Landry certainly produced victories on the field but his leadership and influence prepared me for life after football.
