We have invited some of the most prominent Union advocates in Illinois to join us at our year end program and share their perspective on public sector labor relations.  Jim Baird, Clark Baird Smith LLP, will moderate the discussion. So far, the following individuals have accepted our invitation to appear and speak to our group: 

J. Dale Berry – A long-time General Counsel, negotiator and legislative strategist to the AFFI, and pioneer in Illinois labor law.

Tamara Cummings – Legal Counsel to the Illinois FOP Labor Council since 2003, and currently FOP General Counsel.
