Looking forward to attending the ABA Section of Labor & Employment Law annual CLE Conference in Denver, CO, on November 12-15, 2025. Having completed my three-year term as the neutral co-chair of the State & Local Government Employment & Collective Bargaining Committee, I will be able to attend the meeting without performing any administrative or leadership duties, just enjoying the opportunity to learn about the latest developments in cutting edge L&E topics.
