Begins Eighth Annual Training Conference On Airport Compliance Requirements
The FAA's Office of Civil Rights kicked off its eighth annual training conference on airport compliance requirements for airport authorities, consultants, small businesses and state and local governments Monday. The conference is being held at the Holiday Inn Capitol in Washington, D.C.
The FAA holds the annual training conference as a vehicle to provide technical assistance to airports and industry. The training conference also allows participants to communicate and collaborate with each other to generate greater compliance with federal requirements.
The FAA’s Office of Civil Rights manages the Airport Nondiscrimination Compliance Program. This office works to ensure that airport authorities receiving federal funds comply with certain requirements called grant assurances or risk losing federal funding.
Over the course of the three-day conference, participants will receive updates to guidance, laws and regulations addressing disability, accessibility, race, color, national origin, environmental justice, and minority and women-owned businesses. The FAA’s goal is to hold an interactive conference that allows participants to ask questions, share their experiences complying with federal requirements, and make suggestions that will ensure the best policies and practices are in place.
Other conference participants and workshop presenters include FAA industry stakeholders–Airport Minority Advisory Council, American Association of Airport Executives, Open Doors Organization, Paralyzed Veterans of America, and Airports Council International-North America.
