In Episode 133 of the Let's Get Surety podcast, Stephen E. Irving, Partner (Houston), and Tara R. Munder, Associate (Dallas) at Peckar & Abramson, P.C., join host Kat Shamapande to break down Executive Order 14173—recently signed by President Donald Trump.
The discussion explores the Order's goal to end illegal discrimination and restore merit-based opportunities in federal contracting, including its revocation of Executive Order 11246, which had established affirmative action and non-discrimination obligations. The episode also examines what this change could mean for federal contractors, subcontractors, the OFCCP, and the surety industry at large.
