Member Briefing: A Look Back and Ahead

2025 brought unprecedented upheaval to the federal labor and employment policy landscape. From regulatory shifts to new enforcement priorities following President Trump’s January 21, 2025, Executive Order 14173—Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity—these changes reshaped how organizations approach their workplace compliance and risk management programs. This session will examine the major compliance developments that defined the past twelve months, discuss how our association and the employer community responded, and forecast upcoming initiatives, anticipated challenges, and emerging trends impacting our work in the coming year.

We will be discussing:

A debrief of OFCCP’s changes to E.O. 11246, Section 503, and VEVRAA AAP regulations
The current status of E.O. 14173 award and contract flow-down clauses
An update on what the Justice Department’s “Civil Rights Fraud Initiative” will bring in 2026 and a recap of recent False Claims Act lawsuits

The latest updates on OFCCP’s structure, staffing, and future status as a federal civil rights enforcement agency
An update on the EEOC's policy and enforcement priorities for 2026
Highlights of key state and local legislation taking effect in 2026
