On October 26, 2021, the OBA Workers’ Compensation section community gathered together over Zoom to celebrate the 2021 recipient of the Ron Ellis Award for Excellence in Workers’ Compensation Law.  Rosemarie McCutcheon, the Chair of the Workplace Safety and Insurance Appeals Tribunal (the WSIAT or Tribunal), was presented with the 2021 award and the ceremony was attended by more than 130 of Ms. McCutcheon’s colleagues, friends and family members.

The Master of Ceremonies for the evening, Robert Boswell, OBA section member, entertained the group with his remembrances and anecdotes of the earlier days of his career, and the interesting ways in which his professional path had crossed with Ms. McCutcheon’s.
