National Industry Liaison Group (NILG) Statement

In response to the recent rescission of Executive Order 11246 by the Trump Administration, the NILG Board is actively working with the Advisory Counsel to assess the potential implications and impact of the rescission. The NILG has consistently championed non-discrimination principles and remains steadfast in our support of workforce equality for all individuals, regardless of race, gender, or background. We will provide further updates as our assessment progresses.
