Program Committee Chair for NAA Annual Meeting

I had the privilege of serving as program chair for the recently concluded 2021 annual meeting of the National Academy of Arbitrators in Marina del Rey, California. The annual meeting was canceled in 2020 due to COVID, so this was the first North American get-together of the arbitrators since the fall of 2019. We covered topics such as reforming arbitration of police discipline and the future of video hearings. Sara Nelson, President of the Association of Flight Attendants, was our distinguished luncheon speaker. Former NLRB chair Mark Gaston Pearce was a featured speaker. Some of the sessions were recorded and will be made available at https://naarb.org/. - Paul
