# What Trump’s Return Means for the EEOC

 November 19, 2024 from 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm (EST)

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

As President-elect Donald Trump prepares for his return to the White House, significant changes are anticipated at the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Join us for an in-depth webinar as we explore the potential shifts in EEOC priorities and leadership under a Republican administration.

**Topics:**

- **Leadership Changes:** What to expect from Commissioner Andrea Lucas as the likely new EEOC Chair, and how her tenure could influence policy and enforcement.
- **Policy Shifts:** A look at potential shifts away from enforcement and towards compliance, especially regarding pregnancy accommodations, religious freedom, and workplace diversity.
- **EEOC’s New Focus:** Understanding the likely emphasis on protecting religious workers and pregnant employees, with a possible push for new interpretations of the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act and religious rights protections.
- **Impact on Employers:** What businesses should prepare for in terms of EEOC guidance, compliance assistance, and potential legal risks in a changing political climate.

Please join us for a post-election employment law discussion on **November 19th**.
