CHAIR’S
MESSAGE
 The economy has created a challenging environment for all of us involved in Labor and Employment, and it’s my privilege to serve in the capacity of Chairperson during these times. I hope to continue to uphold the high standards set for our Section by Eric Holshouser and would like to thank Marc Snow and Don Ryce for their excellent and invaluable service over the last several years.
I am fortunate to have the opportunity to work with a great team. This includes new Executive Council members David Adams, Lindsay Hanson and Scott Atwood.
Our many goals for 2010 include expanding our outstanding CLE programs. We have created a new five-part webinar series and we are developing partnerships with local Bar associations to present joint seminars. I am happy to be working with Bob Turk in his capacity as CLE Chair.
We will continue to "reach across the aisle" to balance the needs of our members who represent plaintiffs and defendants. This is your Section, and my door (and e-mail) are always open to your suggestions. We have an ambitious agenda and welcome your participation on our substantive committees, and in our educational, social and community-service programs.
The old Japanese proverb reminds us, "None of us is as smart as all of us." As members of the Labor and Employment Section, we are in a unique position to make a difference during a unique time in our nation’s history. Together with you, I am looking forward to the challenge.
