*** What are the ramifications of Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission? Join us on Feb. 2

What new reporting and compliance issues will it raise? Panelists Ed Ramey (Isaacson Rosenbaum), Martha Tierney (Kelly Garnsey Hubbell & Lass), Richard Westfall (Hale Friesen) and Maurie Knaizer (State Services Section, Colorado Attorney General’s Office) will discuss these issues on Tuesday, Feb. 2, noon to 1 p.m. in the CBA-CLE large classroom, 1900 Grant St., third floor. One CLE credit. Register here.
