EEOC
Commissioner
Chai Feldblum to speak at Workplace Summit
Out & Equal Workplace
Advocates is pleased to welcome EEOC Commissioner, Chai Feldblum to
speak at the the 2010 Out & Equal Workplace Summit.
Chai Feldblum was nominated to serve as EEOC Commissioner by
President Barack Obama on September 15, 2009. Prior to her
appointment to the EEOC, she was a Professor of Law at the
Georgetown University Law Center, where she had taught since 1991.
At Georgetown, she founded the Law Center's Federal Legislation and
Administrative Clinic, a program designed to train students to
become legislative lawyers. As co-director of Workplace Flexibility
2010, Ms. Feldblum has worked to advance flexible workplaces in a
manner that works for employees and employers.
Ms. Feldblum previously served as legislative counsel to the
AIDS Project of the American Civil Liberties Union. In this role,
she developed legislation, analyzed policy on AIDS-related issues,
and played a leading role in drafting the groundbreaking Americans
with Disabilities Act of 1990. As a law professor, she was equally
instrumental in helping in the passage of the ADA Amendments Act of
2008. Chai Feldblum has also worked on advancing lesbian, gay,
bisexual, and transgender rights and has been a leading expert on
the Employment Nondiscrimination Act. She clerked for Judge Frank
Coffin of the First Circuit Court of Appeals and for Supreme Court
Justice Harry A. Blackmun after receiving her J.D. from Harvard Law
School. She received her B.A. degree from Barnard College.
Chai Feldblum will join a group of distinguished speakers scheduled
to appear at the Out & Equal Workplace Summit. Register

Dean
of Georgia Tech College of Management to address HR Luncheon
Out & Equal is proud to announce that Steve Salbu, dean and
Stephen P. Zelnak chairholder at the Georgia Tech College of
Management will be addressing attendees at the HR Luncheon
sponsored by IBM, discussing how multinational companies can
influence the experience of international lesbian, gay, bisexual
and transgender employees as an extension of both diversity and
business strategies.
The only openly LGBT dean of a leading U.S. business school,
Salbu assumed his current role after serving as associate dean for
graduate programs at the McCombs School of Business at the
University of Texas where he also served as director of the McCombs
School Business Ethics Program and editor in chief of the American
Business Law Journal. Salbu has served as a visiting professor at a
number of US business schools, including the Wharton School of the
University of Pennsylvania, University of Michigan, and Indiana
University. He has also taught extensively at international
business schools and law schools, including London Business School,
Rotterdam School of Management, IMADEC University in Vienna, the
University of Edinburgh (joint business law program with the
University of Texas), ITESM in Mexico City (joint EMBA program with
the University of Texas), the University of Melbourne Law School
(as Honorary Senior Fellow), Copenhagen Business School, INCAE in
Costa Rica, Helsinki School of Economics, Instituto de Empresa in
Madrid, and the Melbourne Business School (as the inaugural Gourlay
Visiting Endowed Professor of Business Ethics). In addition, Salbu
has acted as a business consultant since the 1980s, working with
many clients in a variety of areas, including business ethics,
strategy, regulatory issues, medical ethics, and FDA regulatory
policy.
A native of New York, Salbu holds a bachelor's degree
(psychology) from Hofstra University, a master's degree from
Dartmouth College (liberal studies), a law degree from the College
of William and Mary, and master's and doctoral degrees from the
Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania (organization and
strategy).
A limited number of seats for the HR Luncheon are
still available!
The
Business Case for Marriage Equality
Although marriage equality is often discussed and debated in the
media, the corporate voice has been largely silent.
Friday's Marriage Equality Summit within a Summit will
emphasize the Business Case for Marriage Equality - outlining and
illustrating why marriage equality is not simply a social issue
but, rather, a business issue worthy of attention.
The Marriage Equality Summit within a Summit promises to be an
enlightening day of exciting speakers, panelists, and workshops
emphasizing the business angle of marriage equality.
Top row: Bob Witeck (Moderator), David Codell, Carrie Farrell.
Bottom row: Brian McNaught, Janson Wu.
