Making Fair and Legally Defensible Determinations
Presented by Veronica Venture, Esq.
Tuesday | August 4, 2026 • 12 - 1:30 p.m. ET

REGISTER NOW

A recent EEOC report indicated that the EEOC's federal sector appellate program attorneys reversed nearly 35% of agencies’ procedural dismissals. Avoid this fate for your agency by having anyone involved in the EEO process attend this webinar.

Former EEOC attorney and administrative judge, Veronica Venture, will review each basis for dismissing an EEO complaint — explaining their parameters, spotlighting the areas in which most dismissal mistakes are made, and sharing her experienced-based tips for avoiding these common pitfalls. Practitioners will refine their skills so they can make acceptance and dismissal decisions that are fair, equitable, and legally defensible.

Along with practice tips to help EEO staff better prepare letters of acceptance and dismissal, participants will gain the knowledge and skills to:

  • Determine if a complainant's allegations state a viable claim that should survive dismissal
  • Identify when a complainant's untimely EEO contact should be excused to avoid improper dismissal
  • Avoid the improper fragmentation of claims that can lead to the improper dismissal of viable discriminatory harassment claims
  • Determine if allegations should be considered an abuse of the EEO process
  • Recognize when an allegation concerning a proposed agency action cannot be dismissed
  • And more

The webinar includes Q&A time, so you can ask Ms. Venture your specific questions.
