    JobSync Roundtable: Navigating the 2026 OFCCP Regulatory "Seismic Shift"
    Mar 30 2026
    The landscape for federal contractors has changed overnight. With the revocation of Executive Order 11246, the dramatic restructuring of the OFCCP, and the finalized 2026 federal budget, the “old way” of managing affirmative action is officially obsolete. Is your organization prepared for the new enforcement era? Join Jobsync for an exclusive virtual briefing led by a premier employment law attorney and compliance consultant. We’ll cut through the noise of the recent agency downsizing to show you exactly where the Department of Labor is shifting its focus—and where your greatest legal risks now lie. Speakers: Amanda Bowman is Director and Principal Consultant at DCI Consulting Group in the Workforce Analytics and Compliance Strategy team. Amanda joined DCI as an Analyst in September 2010. Amanda provides clients with guidance on EEO and affirmative action statutes and regulations to meet the OFCCP compliance requirements. Amanda’s primary focus is to provide support for clients on affirmative action planning, compensation equity analyses, audits, and employment discrimination. She also is involved in testing and selection projects, including job analyses, test validation, and validity generalization research. Sheila Abron is a partner at Fisher Phillips, LLP. Certified as a Specialist in Employment and Labor Law by the South Carolina Supreme Court, Sheila represents companies and educational institutions—large and small—as they navigate employment issues related to hiring, discipline, investigations, employment discrimination, unemployment, and other related issues. As Chair of the Firm’s Government Contracting, Compliance, and Reporting practice group, she has extensive experience providing compliance advice to federal contractors on affirmative action and OFCCP regulations and audits. Sheila also has a wealth of experience working on collective actions under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and class actions under wage and hour state laws. She is a member of the National Association of College and University Attorneys (NACUA). Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
