Equal Employment Opportunity Committee
Midwinter Meeting |
Dear Colleague:
We are pleased to provide you with this invitation to register for the 2008 ABA National Conference on Equal Employment Opportunity Law, which we are confident will be the most outstanding program on EEO law that will be presented in the coming year. The National Conference on Equal Employment Opportunity Law is presented by the ABA Section of Labor and Employment Law Equal Employment Opportunity Committee.
This program provides an unparalleled opportunity to focus on both trial practice issues and current legal and policy developments relating to equal employment opportunity and related workplace claims. The program will address issues and concerns from the perspective of plaintiff, management, union and government counsel. As you review the program, this diversity of representation will be quite clear.

We have negotiated special group rates at The Westin La Paloma Resort & Spa of $259 (single or double occupancy). The reservation deadline for the group rate is February 26, 2008.
