Issues Fair Labor

The Fair Labor Association (FLA) announced today that Anna Lee Nabors is the 2026 Eric Biel Fellow for International Labor Rights.

The Eric Biel Fellowship honors the contribution of late FLA Senior Advisor Eric Biel to furthering international labor rights by providing an opportunity for law or graduate students to pursue practical work experience and contribute to the advancement of international labor rights in the broader context of the business and human rights space.

Nabors, a MBA/MS dual degree student in Business and Sustainability at the University of Michigan’s Erb Institute, focuses on the intersection between corporate governance and global sustainability movements, with a particular interest in natural resource management and human rights. She has contributed to research, data collection, and stakeholder engagement at organizations including the World Benchmarking Alliance and Ranking Digital Rights.

During the 2025-2026 academic year, Nabors served on the FLA Student Committee. She is also active in the student organization Women in Supply Chain Studies.

During her three-month fellowship, Nabors will work with FLA staff on topics including human rights due diligence, heat stress on workers, and the Fair Labor Association and Investors Roundtable (FLAIR).

Nabors holds a B.A. in International Relations and French from Rhodes College. She currently resides in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

The Eric Biel Fellowship is financed through a fund established by his spouse, Dana Rosenfeld, his children David and Josh Biel, and Dana’s sister and her husband, Jill and Sid Molofsky, other family members, friends, and colleagues. Fellows are chosen annually through a competitive selection process which is managed by an external committee. Committee members include Dana Rosenfeld; Meg Roggensack, Georgetown Law; Sarah Altschuller, Verizon; Sif Thorgeirsson, FLA; and Cindy Lewin, non-profit attorney and executive.

The Eric Biel Fellowship is administered by FLA. Donations are tax-deductible, and 100% of every donation goes directly to the fellowship fund.
