What to Expect from the Biden Administration on Immigration: Insights from Former Key Officials
Monday 04/19/2021 02:00 PM - 02:50 PM   Add to calendar

As President Biden and DHS Secretary Mayorkas continue to build their immigration team and move forward on their ambitious agenda, they must balance competing priorities and navigate among competing stakeholders and political currents.  We speak with veterans of that process from both Republican and Democratic administrations, and seek their insights:

  • What can we expect from the Biden administration on workplace immigration issues?
  • What will determine if the Administration is able to realize its priorities?
  • How can the HR community make sure that it has a place at the table on these important issues?

Learning Objectives: 
1. Gain an understanding of the priorities of the Biden Administration and the future of employment-based immigration policy.
2. Learn how to elevate the voice of HR and advocate for employment-based immigration policies that will ensure employers have access to global talent.
