Theodora Lee was elected as a Fellow of The College of Labor and Employment Lawyers (CLEL), alongside her Littler colleagues Jason Branciforte and A. John Harper III, as a member of the 2026 Class of Fellows, and in celebration of CLEL’s 30th Anniversary. Bettina Yip, Paul Garrison, and the entire CLEL Board nominated her for this tremendous honor.

Theodora is especially grateful to the family, friends, and colleagues who helped make the induction celebration so memorable: her sister, Theronica Bond; her Morehouse Brother, Wendell Alexander Mizell Bryant, who traveled from Atlanta; her Spelman Sisters, Annette Coram and Kim Bronson; her beau, Byron Williams; and her Littler colleagues Barry Hartstein, Charles Powell, Art Carter, Steve Biddle, Kerry E. Notestine, and Bruce R. Millman, among many others. She says, “Their presence, encouragement, and ongoing support made this milestone even more meaningful. I am truly grateful and look forward to continuing to contribute to our profession.
She concludes with, “Congratulations to all my fellow 2026 newly elected Fellow.”
