Religious Discrimination and Accommodation in Your Agency:
Complying With Title VII and Trump Administration Policies

Presented by Deryn Sumner, Esq.

Wednesday | March 25, 2026 • 12 - 1:30 p.m. ET

REGISTER NOW

The Trump administration has stated its intention to maximize religious expression and accommodation for religious practices that conflict with work requirements – a significant change that federal practitioners must understand and be prepared to address.

Experienced EEO attorney Deryn Sumner will detail all you need to know about this evolving landscape, starting with an overview of Title VII’s protections against religious discrimination, including disparate treatment, harassment, and the need to provide religious accommodation. You’ll also find out how undue hardship applies to religious accommodation, supported by recent EEOC case examples.

Along with learning how to factor recent OPM memos on religious accommodation and expression into agency EEO efforts, you’ll gain best practices to:

Properly respond to religious accommodation requests, including considering telework, flexible schedules, leave options, and shift swapping
Determine if a requested religious accommodation is an undue hardship under Groff v. U.S. Postal Service
Evaluate when considerations about coworkers might be relevant to the undue hardship analysis
Apply recent EEOC decisions addressing religious accommodation to your decision-making
Determine if permissible religious expression has become unlawful religious harassment
And more!

And with time for Q&A, you can get this expert’s answers to your specific questions.
