“I am honored to be stepping into Erich Shiners’ shoes to serve as the Chair of the Labor and Employment Law Section for the coming year.  Under his leadership, our Section has thrived.  Indeed, I can say without a doubt (and with much pride) that our Section is the gold standard in terms of educational programs for our members.  We are fortunate that when the pandemic hit and in-person conferences were cancelling right and left, we already had years of experience providing online CLE and OnDemand offerings – we were able to continue to deliver valuable professional education without skipping a beat.  These same pre-existing resources have helped immensely as we have transitioned to virtual conferences.  Take, for example, the recent Wage and Hour Conference which drew as large of an audience as it has in previous years.  Finally, our bi-monthly California Labor and Employment Law Review has continued to maintain its reputation for editorial excellence.  Thank you, Erich, as well as all the other past and current Executive Committee members, CLA staff, speakers and volunteers who are responsible for this success.

[…] 

Behind the scenes making it all happen is an incredible team of talented attorneys. This year’s Committee leadership includes Vice Chair Latika Malkani, Secretary Scott Stillman, and Treasurer Anne Giese. And, 31 Members and Advisors who have signed on to volunteer their talents and time towards our Section’s success. I want to especially welcome our newest voting members Alexandra Stathopoulos, Janet Cory Sommer, Christina Ro-Connolly, and Stephanie Joseph.”
