Peter Sung Ohr, keynote speaker

In December 2011, Peter Sung Ohr was appointed Regional Director of the National Labor Relations Board’s Chicago office becoming the first Director of Asian heritage in the NLRB’s then 76-year history. Peter is responsible for the enforcement of the nation’s primary labor law covering private sector employees in Chicago and the surrounding counties in Illinois and Indiana. In the interview with Chicago Tribune, he said protecting employees’ voices and giving them an opportunity to be heard is the path to ensuring basic human rights. He has arrived on the national stage as a result of recently deciding in favor of the Northwestern football players’ right to unionize as employees. This issue will no doubt be a big one for years to come.

His family came to US in the early 1970s and he grew up mostly in Norridge and Albany Park area. Peter received his B.A. from the University of California-Riverside; J.D. from Pepperdine School of Law; and M.B.A. from Hawaii Pacific University.
