  Presentations: (1) "New OFCCP Regulations" and (2) "The BCGi Certification Program" by Patrick Nooren, Ph.D.
  Description: Well it’s been a while since the proposed revisions to the Veterans (4212) and Individual with Disabilities (503) regulations were released to the public. However, nobody should be under the misguided belief that these (either one or both) won’t happen. The question isn’t if, but when. In fact, ask anyone who has been in an audit recently and they will tell you that the OFCCP is enforcing as-if much of these regulations were already in place. That said, what exactly are the proposed changes and what can employers do now in anticipation? Dr. Nooren will recap for attendees the changes proposed in the new regulations, and what employers should be doing now to prepare for the most substantive changes to contractor AAPs in decades. This presentation is appropriate for attendees of all levels. HRCI credits will be offered for this presentation.
  
  Further, Dr. Nooren will be outlining Biddle Consulting Group Institute’s new certification program. Users will be able to gain BCGI certification in areas such as: AAP Methodology, Audit Best Practices, Compensation Analysis, EEO/AA Technical Analysis, Validation – and BCGI will be making these certifications free to all attendees.
