Policy Disruption and Federal Risk: Navigating Executive Orders and the One Big Beautiful Bill

Join us on Tuesday, August 26 from 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm ET, for the next AFERM Webinar!

This webinar will discuss:
  • Policy changes under the new Administration – through Executive Orders and the One Big Beautiful Bill – are creating a rapidly evolving risk landscape for federal agencies. These new actions present significant risks to service delivery, compliance, governance, and financial sustainability. This session will explore how federal risk professionals can proactively assess, mitigate, and manage the impact of these policy disruptions across the enterprise.
  • These orders impact legislative agendas, economic policies, and regulatory frameworks, affecting industries and communities across the nation. The ability to promptly track and analyze these changes can be the difference between skillfully navigating challenges and being caught off guard by sudden policy shifts.
  • Staying updated on executive orders also fosters a proactive rather than reactive approach. It can help you anticipate upcoming changes that will impact your organization and community and prepare contingency plans to minimize potential disruptions. This approach increases your credibility by demonstrating a thorough understanding of the policy landscape.

Details on speaker information for this webinar are coming soon!
