Target Corp. plans to stop asking prospective employees about their criminal records in initial job applications at all of its U.S. stores, mere months after Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton signed "Ban the Box" legislation, which next year will make it illegal to ask about an applicant's criminal history until he or she has been selected for an interview.

Brad Brekke will keynote at the November 5, 2013 conference in New York City, discussing "Breaking the Mold...Delivering Value-Added Security."
