What's Next for DEI in the Workplace?

Organizations are facing unprecedented challenges as they navigate the rapidly changing landscape of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). With evolving legal frameworks, heightened scrutiny, and shifting societal expectations, companies must strike a balance between advancing DEI initiatives and managing increased risks.

Join us for an exclusive virtual briefing featuring Vicky Slade, Counsel at Davis Wright Tremaine LLP, who will provide critical insights on these challenges and offer practical guidance to help your organization prepare for the future.

Key Topics of Discussion:

Potential Impacts of a Trump Administration 2.0
Insights into Project 2025 recommendations and potential policy changes affecting DEI; legislative proposals like the Dismantle DEI Act and their implications for workplace practices

Strategic Guidance for Organizations
