PDCA $million+ BUSINESS GROUP
Attention Owners of Million Dollar and Larger Painting Businesses: Do you have a million-dollar company or larger, but it's not the smooth running, consistently growing, profitable business that you want it to be? Do you want your million dollar business to virtually run itself, but as it's grown, your headaches and hours at work have grown too? Do you ever feel isolated in the day-to-day of your business? Would you like avoid common mistakes and stop reinventing the wheel?

If you answered yes to these questions, then please join us for PDCA's new monthly"Million Dollar Owners' Roundtable" group discussion led by Bill Silverman with Springboard Business Coaching.

This month's discussion topic is: Unique challenges and success keys in running your business beyond $1 million. REGISTER HERE

HOW-TO:
Participate in the Upcoming RRP Public Comment Meeting
In 2010, EPA issued an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) concerning renovation, repair, and painting activities in public and commercial buildings. EPA is in the process of determining whether these activities create lead-based paint hazards, and, for those that do, developing certification, training, and work practice requirements as directed by the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). This document announces a public meeting on June 26, 2013, and reopens the comment period for the December 31, 2012 Federal Register document to allow for additional data and other information to be submitted by the public and interested stakeholders.

The public meeting will be held on June 26, 2013, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Environmental Protection Agency, Room 1153, EPA East Bldg., 1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Washington, DC 20460. Requests to participate in the meeting must be received on or before June 3, 2013. If you are interested in attending and representing PDCA in this meeting, please contact Beth McDaniel at bmcdaniel@pdca.org by Friday, May 31st.

PRO TIP:
Affordable Health Care Act
The Supreme Court has ruled that the individual mandate of health care reform is a form of taxation and is therefore constitutional. However, the legislation contains many tax provisions of which the general public is likely unaware.

As employers and the American public evaluate the affects of healthcare reform on their businesses and families, SESCO is offering information on what these initial changes mean and how they may affect the world of employee benefits beyond medical coverage.

Healthcare reform has significantly changed the shape of the discussion surrounding employee benefits. Now that healthcare reform is law, employers want to know what kinds of changes are needed to comply and when these changes must be made. Additionally, employers are seeking advice on what they should and shouldn't do in terms of healthcare and employee benefit packages and offerings.
