Daniel J. Parker was an employee of U.S. West Marketing Resources Group, Inc. His employer entered into a Service Agreement with the Center for Creative Leadership (CCL) for CCL to provide corporate leadership training services to the employer and its employees. While attending a leadership workshop sponsored by his employer and conducted by CCL, Parker suffered injuries. Parker filed suit against CCL asserting claims for negligence, breach of contract, negligent misrepresentation, and intentional misrepresentation. In his complaint, Parker alleged that he was a third-party beneficiary of the Service Agreement between his employer and CCL.
