Testimonials

Jim Turner

Director Global Diversity & Inclusion, Affirmative Action | The Boeing Company (formerly)


"I find The Institute to be a thought leader in its field. Its co-chairs and faculty are leading expert practitioners in the EEO field and are second to none in educating and informing members about OFCCP and EEOC developments. The Institute has also been recognized as such by the EEOC and the U.S. Department of Labor, as both have reached out to it for its input on the regulatory reform process instituted under the Trump Administration."

ABOUT US

What makes The Institute different?

Cross-Functional Approach

The Institute is unique among federal contractor networks in our cross-functional approach. A single membership held by a member employer provides access to unlimited employees from across their organization, maximizing participation with our network of cross-industry peers.

Faculty

Faculty members are leading experts in affirmative action, EEO, and other current workplace topics because of their decades of representing clients in thousands of OFCCP audits, EEO investigations, and other workplace matters. With the nation's foremost experts as part of its faculty, The Institute provides members with the most up-to-date information on EEO enforcement agencies, along with strategic and practical recommendations.

Advocacy

The Institute plays a leading role as an advocate on behalf of its members. In response to OFCCP and other government agencies’ enforcement, regulatory and policy initiatives, we put our members first. When advantageous for our members, we advocate on their behalf through written comments, meetings and other efforts with regulatory agencies, legislative representatives and oversight agencies in the White House.
