DEI programs vanish across the GovCon landscape
Briefly

Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs are increasingly disappearing among government contractors, as companies reassess their commitments in light of Trump's executive orders. Notably, Booz Allen Hamilton has disbanded its DEI organization and removed diversity goals, diverging from its past initiatives that prioritized representation. Similarly, Accenture is sunsetting global employee representation goals while still supporting employee resource networks. Additionally, organizations like AFCEA International have stripped DEI references, indicating a wider trend within the government contracting industry to distance from such programs, despite their previous commitments to diversity and inclusion.
