We invite current HRA members to join us for a discussion on recent Executive Orders (EOs) related to DEI and their impact on government entities, nonprofits, and the biomedical science landscape. Our speaker, Jeremy Lewin, Partner at Barnes & Thornburg, will present on the civil rights case laws on which these EOs are based and the current applicability of the EOs to contracts/grants, employment law, and other areas of interest.
