Overview (Program Summary)

There are two competing forces at play in the hiring process: the legal requirement to make employment decisions that are not based on protected characteristics and the desire to ensure underrepresented groups are fully considered in the employment process. How can employers do the latter without violating the former? Join this session to review the legal landscape that employers promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) must navigate to ensure compliance with non-discrimination laws. Explore how employers can lawfully implement race and gender conscious measures that do not violate equal employment opportunity principles.


This panel features the following speakers:


Dawn Blume, Senior Counsel, People and Culture, BP America Inc.
Cara Crotty, Partner, Constangy, Brooks, Smith & Prophete LLP
