Partial Excerpt:
Chris Templeton: Welcome. My name is Chris Templeton, and I will be your moderator for the next hour you're in for a real treat. This is a rare opportunity for EEO investigators to see what happens after an investigative report is submitted and to get important feedback directly from the consumers of your work, the judges. So welcome everybody a few quick ground rules. Number one, please feel free to ask any questions that you have via the Q&A button, which you can see at the bottom of your screen. The one rule that we have is you cannot ask case-specific questions and what I'll be doing is reading those questions. It's too important for me to try and pretend to look at the screen the whole time and not get these questions, so that's why I'll be reading them and I just want to thank you all for being here.
Next, what I'd like to do is introduce our judges for today first is D. Andrew Winston, who has been an administrative judge with the Denver field office of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission since 2015, judge Winston first joined the EEOC in 2007 and served as a senior trial attorney with the Denver Field Office Legal Unit. Before joining the EEOC Judge Winston was in private practice focusing on labor employment, civil rights, and entertainment law. Our next judge is Jacob Smiles and he's an administrative judge with the Denver Field Office of the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission as an administrative judge, he presides over the federal sector, employment discrimination complaints before becoming an administrative judge during the summer of 2015, he worked for five years as an attorney for the US Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights in Denver, Colorado. Our third judge is Nancy Weeks.
She's been at the EEOC for 29 years and before that worked for the defendants and employers before becoming an administrative judge, Nancy worked for the EEOC and served as a senior trial attorney with the Denver Field Office Legal Unit. Welcome to all of you. What I want you to know is that I will be addressing them casually as they have agreed to take off their wigs and let me call them Andy, Jake, and Nancy. So I want you to know up front that's how we're going to proceed with this. So to get a better feel for who the judges are. I want to introduce you and by asking each of you the following question, judges, why is this work important to you and let's begin with Andy and thank you for being here.
