OFCCP Looks Ahead to 45th Anniversary of E.O. 11246

On September 24, 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed Executive Order (EO) 11246 ringing in a new era of nondiscrimination and affirmative action requirements for those companies doing business with the Federal Government. OFCCP plans to highlight this important milestone and celebrate its accomplishments toward making America’s workplaces diverse and free of discrimination. Preliminary ideas include hosting special events around the nation, developing educational materials, engaging the media and getting the word out via OFCCP’s Web site, webinars and social media tools. OFCCP encourages all organizations to join in this celebration by promoting the importance of preventing workplace discrimination and highlighting their successes in doing so. Furthermore, OFCCP is collecting personal stories from individuals who have been positively impacted by EO 11246 or OFCCP’s work.
