After the Midyear Meeting, our Committee is planning to host additional webinars. As previously noted, given the nail-biting end to the Brexit negotiations at the end of 2020, we would be remiss not to examine what the future holds now that that Britain is finally out of the EU. We expect this will be the topic of discussion at our next webinar, organized in collaboration with the European Employment Lawyers Association (EELA). Date and time to be confirmed.
Finally, please mark your calendars for the 15thAnnual Section of Labor and Employment Law Conference, which is scheduled to be held in Los Angeles, California from November 10-13, 2021.
We look forward to seeing you soon, virtually for now.
Warm regards,
Jennifer (JJ) Rosenbaum (Union & Employee Co-chair), David Garland (Employer Co-Chair), Melanie Crowley (International Co-Chair), Ify Okoli-Watson (In-House Corporate Counsel Co-Chair), and Nancy Shilepsky (Employee Co-chair)
