UST Webinar: Executive Orders, Federal Funding, DEI, and Compliance – How Associations Can Prepare
It seems like every time we turn around, there’s another Executive Order shaking things up. From changes impacting federal funding and employment policies to new directives on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), associations must stay vigilant to understand the implications. These orders can affect everything from your hiring practices to grant eligibility, member engagement, and advocacy efforts.
How can your organization stay ahead of these changes? What steps should you take to ensure compliance while continuing to serve your members AND stay true to your mission?
Join us for an insightful panel discussion hosted by UST Education and led by Matrix Group CEO Joanna Pineda, featuring Jeff Tenenbaum, Managing Partner at Tenenbaum Law Group, and experienced association executives. Together, we’ll explore the implications of these Executive Orders and provide practical guidance to help your association navigate this evolving landscape.
