SUMMARY:Discussion Call: Federal Contractor and Grant Recipient DEI Programs
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a call to discuss recent changes for federal contractors and grant recipients such as those who may have received a CDFI or NCUA Grant. \nStarting April 21\, 2025\, federal contractors and grant recipients are prohibited from maintaining a discriminatory DEI program. If the Credit Union is a federal contractor or a federal grant recipient\, there is an increased risk of an allegation that its hiring practices under a DEI program consider “race\, color\, sex\, sexual preference\, religion\, or national origin in ways that violate the Nation’s civil rights laws”. \nRegister Now
