EEAC is the nation’s largest nonprofit
association of employers dedicated exclusively to the advancement
of practical and effective programs to eliminate workplace discrimination.
Founded in 1976, EEAC’s membership now includes more than
300 of the nation’s largest and most progressive private-sector
companies, whose in-house personnel rely on our staff
of experienced attorneys and compliance professionals to help
them meet their EEO and affirmative action compliance obligations.
Membership is corporate, meaning that anyone employed by
a member company is eligible to benefit from EEAC's wide array
of member
services. Member services include weekly
memoranda that provide practical analysis and guidance
on current developments that affect corporate EEO, affirmative
action, and diversity efforts. Complementing the memos, our
staff experts are also available to confer with you directly
whenever you might have a question or need more information
on an EEO-related issue.
In addition to regular membership
meetings and specialized "Forums"
aimed at in-house counsel and senior EEO executives, EEAC
offers a complete EEO training
curriculum, ranging from a basic EEO law course to courses
on developing an AAP, managing an OFCCP compliance review,
investigating EEO charges and conducting compensation analyses.
Each course includes a stand-alone resource
manual prepared by EEAC's staff experts. We also reach
out to members with our "web-workshops," which allow
us to present practical guidance on breaking issues when they
occur.
In the policy arena, EEAC's amicus
curiae briefs and writtencomments on regulatory proposals
analyze for government decision-makers the practical consequences
of their rulings and requirements on corporate fair employment
practices. We also maintain close contacts with key officials
at EEOC and OFCCP to ensure that they are well-informed about
issues of concern to EEAC members.
EEAC is managed by a Board of Directors comprised of member
company representatives. Other opportunities for members to
make their voices heard are through participation on one of
our standing committees or content-focused task forces.

EEAC’s work is performed primarily by attorneys
and nonlawyer employment specialists with the law firm of Norris, Tysse, Lampley & Lakis, LLP, in Washington, D.C.
