For immediate release





On Thursday, October 12, 2006, from  8 to 11:30 am, StoriesWork and the 
Professional Women's Network of the Greater Durham Chamber of Commerce 
present "Losing Business, Losing Money, Losing Employees: How Domestic 
Violence Impacts the Workplace."  The event is held at the Chamber offices, 
Durham Centre, 300 W. Morgan Street, Suite 1400, Durham, 27701.  There is no 
fee and a continental breakfast will be provided.   Space is limited and 
advance registration is advised at dkaspar at durhamchamber.org  or Danielle 
Kaspar 682-2133 ext.233



The financial loss to American business from the workplace effects of 
domestic violence is estimated at over $5 billion annually.  Losses result 
from increased health insurance costs, absenteeism, low morale, job loss, 
work accidents, safety issues, law suits, etc.   "Losing Business, Losing 
Money, Losing Employees" is supported in part by the Mary Duke Biddle 
Foundation to raise awareness about domestic violence issues in the 
workplace and to explore sensible policies and procedures for business 
organizations.
