Is your organization meeting affirmative action requirements? Understand your obligations during the pandemic.
Financial institutions must adhere to several affirmative action obligations, including those under:
- Executive Order 11246 (affirmative action for women and minorities)
- Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (affirmative action for individuals with disabilities)
- VEVRAA (affirmative action for protected veterans)
