Lucy Dunn
In this podcast host Mark Himmelstein sits down with Lucy Dunn, CEO of the Orange County Business Council, for the second part of a two-part segment discussing job creation and education in Orange County.
Immediately following that discussion we will present “Legal Landscape” where we will be joined by Mike McClellan who will update us on a case involving the enforceability of arbitration agreements in an employment contract, and the abnormal outcome that ruled in favor of the employer over the employee.
