The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) will hold a live "Tweet Chat" on Wednesday, May 15, from 1:00 to 1:30 pm (EDT). The interactive online forum, conducted by the EEOC's Office of Federal Operations, will focus on the federal sector equal employment opportunity (EEO) process and related issues.

Members of the public are encouraged to participate and provide questions in advance using the hashtag #EEOfedtalk. Members of the news media should direct any inquiries to the EEOC's Office of Communications and Legislative Affairs via email: newsroom@eeoc.gov or by phone at 202-663-4191 or TTY 202-663-4494.

"We hope this Twitter Town Hall results in enhancing citizen and stakeholder engagement, as well as providing useful information about the federal sector process," said Carlton Hadden, the EEOC's director of federal operations. "This is part of the EEOC's broader efforts to inform and educate the public through an open dialogue via new media platforms."

The EEOC will conduct the chat using the Twitter handle @EEOC_OFO. General EEOC news and information updates are available on Twitter via @EEOCNews and @EEOCenespanol. The public may also access EEOC's YouTube channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/TheEEOC/.
