About the Program
President Trump’s recent Executive Order, “Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity,” promises significant impact on federal contractors, private employers, grant recipients, and educational institutions.
This sweeping Order eliminates affirmative action requirements for federal contractors, introduces new compliance certifications, mandates sweeping changes to DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) initiatives in the federal sector and heightened scrutiny over “illegal" DEI programs in the private sector. Additionally, it sets the stage for aggressive enforcement under the False Claims Act, raising the stakes for noncompliance.
Our panel will provide practical insights and strategies to help your organization navigate these substantial changes, including:
Revocation of EO 11246: Understanding the end of federal contractor affirmative action obligations.
New Compliance Requirements: Navigating the new certification requirements for federal contracts and grants.
Impact on DEI Programs: Assessing the immediate and long-term implications for diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.
Strategic Responses: Developing strategies and next steps to review and align DEI initiatives with federal anti-discrimination laws.
