	72	+	Experience
	73	+	Member, District of Columbia Public Employee Relations Board, 2020-present.
	74	+	The PERB oversees labor-management relations between the District
	75	+	government and labor organizations that represent its employees. The
	76	+	PERB hears cases presenting issues
	77	+	of representation, unfair labor
	78	+	practices, grievance arbitration award appeals, and standards
	79	+	of conduct. I
	80	+	have served one 3-year term as a neutral member
	81	+	of the PERB, and I have
	82	+	participated in decisions involving the full range
	83	+	of cases that come before it.
	84	+	Attorney, National Labor Relations Board, Washington, DC, 1977-2017.
	85	+	The NLRB, an independent federal agency, administers private-sector labor
	86	+	law in the United States. Initially, I worked in the Board's Appellate Court
	87	+	Branch, representing the Board before the United States Courts
	88	+	of Appeals
	89	+	and other federal courts. During that time, I became a supervisory attorney
	90	+	and then one
	91	+	of two managing supervisors in the Branch. In 2003, I was
	92	+	selected by a newly appointed NLRB member
	93	+	to serve as his chief counsel.
	94	+	Subsequently, I was selected by
	95	+	four successive Board members to serve as
	96	+	chief counsel. In that capacity, I oversaw a staff of about 15 attorneys and
	97	+	was intimately involved in deciding cases, writing opinions, and managing
	98	+	the
	99	+	business of the NLRB.
