OFCCP Week In Review: April 23, 2018

Tuesday, April 17, 2018: OFCCP Thinning Out

This week saw several key OFCCP managers announce their intentions to leave OFCCP:

1. Thomas Dowd, the Deputy Director, has left the OFCCP but will remain in the Department of Labor, working down the hall at the Employment and Training Administration. Mr. Dowd led the OFCCP for more than a year in the role of Acting Director while we waited to hear who would be named the agency’s next Director.Known for embracing his heritage and wearing bolo ties, Dowd is committed to making the voice of the Native American people heard. Soft-spoken in nature, he took a more collaborative approach with contractors during the transition period. He joined the office in 2011 as a Deputy Director under Patricia Shiu, the OFCCP Director during the Obama administration.
2. Brad Anderson, the Regional Director for the Midwest Region, is taking a new position with the EEOC as District Director in Birmingham, Alabama.  Brad was with the OFCCP for over six years, starting out in the Indianapolis Office as a Compliance Officer and eventually moving on to be the District Director in Charlotte and finally as Regional Director in Midwest.  His last day is May 11^th.
3. Consuela Pinto, the Solicitor’s office attorney, did not work at OFCCP but handled its legal portfolio. BNA reported April 23, 2018, that she is now returning to practice in the private sector.
