  • Description: At the December session, Attorneys Cris Houston and David Schleicher, will do some harassment myth-busting. We will learn when harassment is illegal even though not sexual in nature, when it’s not illegal, and what kind of harassment pierces protections managers used to have from being sued.

    • Crisarla Houston is a Harvard law school graduate who has also taught law school classes, served as the Compliance and Equity Officer for one of Waco’s largest nonprofits, and is currently the CEO of a local nonprofit that helps disadvantaged small businesses obtain loans.
