President Obama just announced his intent to nominate Disability Expert Chai R. Feldblum for Commissioner of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). The EEOC has five commissioners.

Chai Feldblum, a law professor at Georgetown University Law Center, previously served as legislative counsel to the AIDS Project of the American Civil Liberties Union, where she played a role in the drafting of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.

Her degrees are from Harvard Law School and Barnard College, and she went on to clerk for Judge Frank Coffin on the First Circuit Court of Appeals and Supreme Court Justice Harry A. Blackmun.

I have the pleasure of knowing Chai Feldblum and feel that President Obama could not have made a better selection.
