Last week, the 34th Annual ILG National Conference was held in Charlotte, NC and touted a fitting theme of “First in Flight: Soaring to New Heights in Compliance.” The week long session was designed to build upon the work of local ILGs by providing in-depth forums covering issues faced by compliance practitioners daily including recent legal cases, new Executive Orders and regulation changes.
Speakers from across the country gathered to contribute their expertise and provide insight into the ever-changing EEO/AA Compliance regulations. Workshops covered topics from Diversity and Inclusion to Compensation to Compliance Reviews and pending “Blacklisting” Regulations. Keynote addresses and presentations were given by Patricia Shiu, OFCCP Director, Randy Lewis, former SVP of Walgreens, Victoria Lipnic, EEOC Commissioner, and Kristin Beck, former U.S. Navy Seal. The event was concluded with a powerful speech from Beverly Bond, Founder of Black Girls Rock! followed by an Expert Panel discussing legal change.
Overall, the week was packed full of valid and relevant information designed specifically for compliance leaders. From statistical analyses to significant developments in the Obama Administration and what to expect from the next Administration, the conference consistently urged attendees to create opportunities for justice, equality and inclusion in the workplace.
