Candee Chambers of DirectEmployers presenting on VEVRAA and Section 503 at DEAM14.

The new veterans and individuals with disabilities (IWD) regulations require federal contractors to include quantitative analyses in their disabled and veteran affirmative action plans—something that changes the entire landscape of affirmative action plan development. While this has raised many questions, the 32nd ILG National Conference is an invaluable opportunity to get a firmer grasp on exactly what it all means, and actionable takeaways to get your organization pointed in the right direction.

Our VP of Compliance & Partnerships, Candee Chambers will share her expertise and knowledge on two separate occasions during the conference. First, during the pre-conference activities on Tuesday, August 4, she’ll be joined by Beth Ronnenburg of Berkshire Associates to conduct a workshop titled VEVRAA & Section 503: Data Collection and Analysis.

They’ve designed this workshop to give an in-depth analysis of the newly required data elements, and provide participants with the action items needed in order to maintain compliance – including step-by-step guidance on the data collection process for Veterans and Individuals with Disabilities AAPs.

In addition, Candee and Beth will discuss how to conduct the utilization analysis and the hiring benchmark analysis, both of which are required under the new regulations. Attendees will also gain exposure to sample data collection charts and calculations.

The following day, Wednesday, August 5, Candee will join the following panelists in the session Partnering with State Workforce Agencies: Pam Gerassimides, NASWA; Gideon Blustein, Illinois Department of Employment Security; and Laura Harlos, Alaska Airlines.

If you’ll be joining us in D.C. next month for the ILG National Conference, you won’t want to miss either of these sessions! Be sure to also swing by booth 26/27 to snag one of our augmented reality t-shirts and learn how DirectEmployers assists companies with OFCCP compliance.
