CWC, our affiliated nonprofit membership association, has updated its equal opportunity and affirmative action policy statement templates to reflect the rescission of Executive Order 11246. These templates, available to our member companies, can help federal contractors as they review their policies to ensure compliance with E.O. 14173.
There are two versions of the templates:
(1) an Affirmative Action Policy Statement, which is mandated under OFCCP regulations implementing Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act and Section 4212 of the Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act; and
(2) a broader Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action Policy Statement that integrates the 503 and VEVRAA requirements.
Following the rescission of E.O. 11246, many federal contractors are reviewing and revising their procedures, policies, and other written materials that refer to E.O. 11246 requirements. (Covered federal contractors may continue to comply with OFCCP regulations at 41 CFR Parts 60-1, 60-2, and 60-4 through April 20, 2025.) CWC will revise many of the templates it released over the last several years so its members have access to updated compliance resources.
