We are providing federal contractors the opportunity to attend a compliance assistance event that offers a basic understanding of the compliance evaluation process. This event should help attendees determine what additional preparations they may need to undertake to prepare for a scheduled compliance evaluation. The compliance assistance event should also generally help attendees build their knowledge about compliance, as well as support contractor long-term voluntary compliance and potentially reduce the cost of compliance.

Attendees will be provided helpful hints and best practices in understanding your obligations as a federal contractor when monitoring your Section 503 obligations.
