Naperville To Tackle #MeToo Struggles With Panel Discussion

NAPERVILLE, IL — As the #MeToo movement continues to shed light on workplace sexual harassment, the Naperville Chamber of Commerce will hold a panel discussion about the movement and how to confront its core issues. The upcoming luncheon will help business owners tackle sexual harassment in the workplace and at universities in a candid presentation led by legal experts, human resource professionals, and representatives from North Central College.

This general membership luncheon will be held at the Hilton Lisle-Naperville location, 3003 Corporate West Dr., Lisle.

The panel will share ways to combat sexual harassment in the workplace, how to identify sexual harassment, and what steps a victim can take if they've been sexually harassed. An event post described the forum as a "must-attend event for anyone interested in understanding what workplace sexual harassment looks like, when and how to address infractions, and how to make sure everyone understands the rules."

Featured panel members include David Carpenter, SPHR, SHRM-CSP, VP of Human Resources at Securitas USA, Kevin McCarthy, Assistant VP for Student Affairs and Dean of Students at North Central College, and Leah Setzen, Partner at Grunyk Family Law, Kevin McCarthy. Each speaker will provide a different perspective on how to confront sexual harassment in different settings.

The Chamber of Commerce urges residents to pre-register if they're interested in attending the #MeToo luncheon. Tickets for Chamber members cost $30 and tickets for "future Chamber members" are $50. Non-members can attend three Chamber of Commerce a year. After that, membership is required for additional participation.
