We will hear from Wilma about her extraordinary career in labor law, including eventful years at the NLRB, as well as discussing future challenges facing the NLRB. She will also address her aspirations as National LERA President. President Obama named Wilma Liebman Chairman of the National Labor Relations Board in January 2009. She served as its Chairman until August 27, 2011. Since then, she has been engaged in various advisory roles and consulting projects and has taught at several universities, most recently New York University Law School. She is also member of the Board of Directors of the Economic Policy Institute as well as a senior fellow of the Institute for the Study of Employee Ownership and Profit Sharing at Rutgers’ School of Management and Labor Relations.
Earlier in her career she served as Deputy Director of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS). Prior to joining FMCS in January 1994, she held positions as Labor Counsel for the International Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craftsmen as well as Legal Counsel to the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. Wilma is the author of several publications on a variety of labor law and policy issues. She holds an A.B. degree from Barnard College, and a J.D. from George Washington University Law School.

The DC LERA is on the
forefront
of tidal changes in national labor policies. Battles between
powerful political forces in Washington will determine the
future of work for decades to come. We are a non-partisan
forum in Washington where these conflicting ideas and
ideologies coexist.
We sponsor a series of monthly
luncheons on crucial economic, legal, and social issues in
employer–employee relations. Thanks to our location, DC LERA
draws support from the Washington policy community, with
members and speakers from government, universities, unions,
think tanks, and policy advocate organizations. Our luncheon
programs offer great opportunities for labor relations
professionals, union leaders, policy specialists, scholars,
and students to express their views, enrich their knowledge
and expand their networks.
A special dimension of DC
LERA’s program is international labor relations. We are
honored and privileged that representatives of Washington’s
diplomatic delegations are active participants in our Chapter.
They learn, but they also give back. Attachés and counselors
give us inside views of labor relations in Asia and Europe.
We invite you to join us in
this fascinating journey. You can join or renew by

Please call Jim Kimball at 202-624-7456.
Thank you in advance for your support. We look forward to
seeing you at our great events! Your tax adviser should
