the National Labor Relations Act requiring his supervision of field
attorneys and field examiners engaged in the investigation and
litigation of unfair labor practices, Federal Court litigation and
the processing of representation cases.
Kreisberg began his career with the NLRB in 1975 as a law clerk in
the Administrative Law Judge's Division at the NLRB's headquarters
in Washington, D.C. Upon his graduation from law school in 1977, he
served for two-and-a-half years as staff counsel to former NLRB
member John A. Penello, then transferred in late 1979 to the newly
created Hartford subregional office as a field attorney. In 1985 he
was promoted to a supervisory attorney, and in 1988 he became the
first regional attorney. He is a member of the bar of the State of
Connecticut and the District of Columbia and is a past chair of the
Labor & Employment Law Section of the Connecticut Bar
Association.
Kreisberg earned his undergraduate degree from the Cornell
University School of Industrial & Labor Relations in 1974 and a
law degree from the American University, Washington College of Law
in 1977.
This meeting is co-sponsored by the Rhode Island Bar

MBA, 20 West St., Boston
The Immigration Law Section Council invites you to attend the

the MBA, 20 West St., Boston. The guest speaker at this event
will be Kate Auspitz, issues director for Congressman Michael E.
Capuano, representative, 7th Congressional District of
Massachusetts.
As many practitioners are aware, Auspitz is one of the most
helpful congressional aides when a congressional assist is needed.
Many are unaware Auspitz is a political historian, Fulbright fellow
and Harvard Ph.D. She was an associate professor in Social Studies
at Harvard College and taught in the Political Science Department
at Wellesley College before leaving academia for practical
politics. She now works on foreign policy, immigration and refugee
issues.
Auspitz will discuss what a congressional inquiry can accomplish,
how to request assistance and, as importantly, what cannot be
reasonably expected from an inquiry. In addition, she will bring
the latest news as to what is happening on the hill regarding
comprehensive immigration reform issues.
Join Immigration Law section members at this special networking
reception, where you will have the opportunity to meet fellow
practitioners, expand your practice network and connect with
colleagues in your practice area.
