INTRODUCTIONS President Loeb introduced the following new member of the Official Family: Jacob White, Associate West Coast Counsel Jake White joins us from Weinberg, Roger & Rosenfeld, a Union-side law firm in California. Jake began working for the firm right out of law school, in 2009. He became the first person in firm history to handle an arbitration prior to receiving his bar results. It was the first of approximately 200 arbitrations he handled while at the firm. At Weinberg, Roger & Rosenfeld, Jake focused on traditional labor law, representing Unions in both the public and private sector. In 2013, he helped convince the California Supreme Representatives of the Host Locals welcome the Official Family and all attendees to New Orleans. FIRST QUARTER 2017 21
