Navigating Change: DE&I and the Second Trump Administration

December 13, 2024

With the incoming Trump administration, organizations and employers must prepare for heightened scrutiny of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I) programs from lawmakers, federal agencies, and legal activists. This timely webinar explored the anticipated challenges and provided actionable strategies for organizations to sustain their DE&I efforts amidst evolving regulatory landscapes.

Whether you're a business leader, HR professional, or DE&I advocate, this session will empower you with insights, legal guidance, and practical tools to remain proactive and compliant while fostering inclusion for all.

Key Discussion Topics:

  • Shifting Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's Policies: impact of reduced race and ethnicity data collection.
  • The Ripple Effects of SFFA v. Harvard: implications of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn race-based affirmative action on workplace DE&I.
  • Revisions to Anti-Discrimination Laws: removal of “disparate impact” liability could limit challenges to discriminatory policies.
  • Potential Rollbacks in Federal DE&I Policies: cuts to DE&I offices, restrictions on racial classifications, and critical race theory training within federal agencies and federally funded programs.
  • Strategies for Resilience and Growth: advancing DE&I through diversifying pipelines, reducing bias, and fostering belonging.


Who Should Attend:

This session is tailored for C-suite leaders, HR professionals, legal counsel, DE&I practitioners, and policymakers seeking to navigate challenges and sustain impactful DE&I programs.
