COUNSEL OF THE EEOC

 

Dear Colleague:

 

Today, October 17, 2023, the Senate voted to confirm Karla Gilbride to serve
as the General Counsel of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
(EEOC).

 

Ms. Gilbride was nominated by President Biden on January 3, 2023. She
previously served as co-director of Public Justice's Access to Justice
Project before stepping down in April 2023.  Ms. Gilbride graduated with
honors from Georgetown Law in 2007 and clerked for Judge Ronald Gould on the
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. She received her undergraduate
degree from Swarthmore College with highest honors in 2002 with a major in
linguistics and minor in psychology.

 

We hope this information is helpful.  ~OCLA

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
