American Society of Employers - Employer Risk & Compliance Conference

Lawful Diversity is Good; Unlawful Diversity is Evil
1:55 p.m. - 2:45 p.m.
Diversity has been under attack since January 2025. Executive Order 11246 was revoked and initiatives that were lauded only a few years ago are causing regulators to withhold billions in government funds and agency approvals. Given the confusion, participants will learn the difference between lawful and unlawful diversity, how to implement programs designed to attract a diverse workforce while complying with equal opportunity laws, and how to maintain programs aimed at retaining employees who share the organization’s commitment to inclusion.
This new, high-level compliance and risk management conference is designed for risk managers, compliance officers, and leaders who oversee enterprise-wide regulatory strategy. The program focuses on what organizations must do to remain compliant across critical areas such as AI, DEI, immigration, job postings, wage and hour, and OSHA — featuring national compliance experts who bring clarity to today's most complex requirements.
