As we enter Construction Inclusion Week, ACCA continues leading critical conversations that shape how our industry moves forward under the new U.S. DOT Interim Final Rule (IFR) — impacting DBE and ACDBE programs nationwide.

Join us for a timely virtual session hosted by the ACCA Legislative Committee:

“Providing a Roadmap for Effective DEIA Engagement in Contract Compliance”

📅 October 15, 2025 | 🕝 2:30 – 4:00 PM ET | 💻 Virtual

This panel brings together legal and policy experts — Angela Berry-Roberson, Esq, Angela Clark, Colette Holt, Franklin Lee, David Maher, and Rodney K. Strong — to unpack how recent executive orders and legal guidance are reshaping the way agencies, primes, and certifying bodies approach Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) in compliance programs.

Now more than ever, as new IFR implementation takes hold, our collective understanding and collaboration are key to ensuring fair, consistent, and equitable participation across the infrastructure and construction industries.

Let’s use this moment — during — to strengthen our shared commitment to inclusive contracting practices and to advancing the values that define our work.
👉 Register today and be part of the dialogue that will shape the next generation of contract compliance leadership.
