As we approach the nine-month mark of the new Trump Administration, federal contractors across the country are continuing to adapt to a rapidly evolving landscape of federal labor and employment policy. From regulatory shifts at the OFCCP to new enforcement priorities at the Department of Justice, the implications of President Trump’s Executive Order 14173 – Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity are already reshaping how organizations manage risk and envision the future of equal employment opportunity programs.
Join us for an interactive roundtable discussion moderated by Meredith Gregston, featuring NILG Advisory Council members Craig Leen, Vicki Lipnic, and Danny Petrella, who will share their insights on the most recent developments from the Trump Administration, including:
• DOJ’s latest guidance on “illegal DEI” practices
• OFCCP’s proposed changes to E.O. 11246, Section 503, and VEVRAA AAP regulations
• Key considerations in responding to OFCCP’s request that contractors verify they have “wound down” their AAPs
• Updates on OFCCP’s structure, staffing, and its status as a federal civil rights enforcement agency
• What it means to certify in good faith that your organization complies with federal civil rights laws
The panel will take questions throughout the session, and audience participation is encouraged!

Yes, Monitoring HR Outcomes is a Sound Business Practice - What Employers Should be Doing with their Employment Data

The recent seismic changes in the HR legal environment have appropriately raised the question of what, if anything, companies should be doing with their HR data. However, while some changes at the federal level in enforcement priorities may suggest a lesser need to analyze employment practices, the heightened federal focus on antidiscrimination law certifications for federal contractors and grant recipients, along with state regulators’ enforcement activities and private litigation, generally support a continued focus on these practices. More importantly, keeping an eye on employment outcomes is about ensuring the optimal utilization of companies’ most important resource, their people. In this session, we will discuss the current HR legal environment and potential developments, as well as best practices for monitoring your HR data.
