&lt;p&gt;Presented by Justin Boltz, owner of the Harrisburg based Sandler Training firm, the material comes from the Sandler Selling System, founded in 1967 and refined across nearly six decades of working with sales organizations of every size.

&lt;p&gt;Type 1 diabetes does not stop at the office door. Every workday includes constant, invisible decisions about blood sugar, insulin, and energy - decisions that can affect focus, attendance, and performance in ways coworkers and employers rarely see.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Understand what employees with T1D navigate daily, learn low-cost ways to build a more supportive workplace, and see how employee wellbeing connects to retention and culture. No cost to attend, but registration is required.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Panelists:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Lori Renne, UPMC Business Development&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Kris Warfel, President, Graham Packaging Food &amp;amp; Beverage&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Mallory Hull, CRNP, CDCES, Penn State Health&lt;/p&gt;
