David Barron, Peter Ennis, Dr. Diedrick Graham, Ann-Marie Luciano, Sidnee McDonald, and Nicole Su will present "Employer DEI Policies Under the Trump Administration: Next Steps and Practical Advice." Following a flurry of executive orders signed by President Trump, employers are working hard to understand the fast-changing compliance landscape surrounding DEI policies and to weigh critical decisions about next steps. Employer policies and practices that touch upon DEI — however that may be defined — will no doubt face increased scrutiny and legal challenges. Changes to such programs may bring legal risk and/or criticism from employees, customers, and business partners.
Join David, Peter, Diedrick, Ann-Marie, Sidnee, and Nicole as they tackle the following important topics:
1. Update on executive orders impacting both government contractors and companies that do not do business with the federal government.
2. Overview of legal challenges to the executive orders.
3. Update on EEOC enforcement policies and recent cases involving reverse discrimination or other relevant legal theories.
4. Recent actions by state attorneys general on DEI or other legal obligations that may conflict with the executive orders.
5. Roundtable discussion of practical options and legal considerations for employers seeking to maintain or change current DEI programs.
