MILWAUKEE, Jan. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Circa is pleased to
announce that Craig E. Leen, former
Director of the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs
(OFCCP) at the U.S. Department of Labor, will be joining its Board
of Directors effective January 21,
2021.
As the OFCCP Director, Mr. Leen led the federal agency
responsible for administering and enforcing the equal employment
opportunity regulations to ensure that those who conduct business
with the federal government (federal contractors and
subcontractors) comply with their affirmative action and
nondiscrimination obligations.
Under his leadership, the agency achieved record enforcement
recoveries in FY 2019 and FY 2020 for victims of employment
discrimination, and advanced directives and rulemaking that
promoted transparency, certainty, efficiency, and recognition,
which has significantly changed the agency's approach to
enforcement and substantially improved its relationship with
contractors.
The agency under his direction introduced Focused Reviews and
Compliance Checks, which enabled OFCCP to reach, evaluate, and
provide compliance assistance to a greater number of
contractors.
Prior to joining OFCCP, Mr. Leen served as the City Attorney of
Coral Gables, Florida, where he
practiced in the areas of constitutional law and civil rights,
including working on a comprehensive inclusion program for
individuals with disabilities.
"Our Board of Directors is comprised of a dedicated team of
leaders committed to providing best-in-class solutions to
forward-thinking employers who believe in the transformative power
of diversity," said Patrick Sheahan,
CEO, Circa. "We are excited to channel Craig Leen's talent, expertise, insight, and
passion into furthering our mission to help companies develop a
more diverse and inclusive workforce. As an integral part of our
Board, Craig will be a driving force in our thought leadership
efforts and the development of Circa's next generation of
compliance and diversity technology solutions to better the
workforce."
"I'm excited to serve on the Circa Board. Circa has a great
reputation in the equal employment opportunity compliance field,
helping contractors to fully comply with OFCCP and other regulatory
requirements," said Craig Leen. "I'm
happy to have the chance to help Circa achieve its mission and
continue my positive work in this critical field."
