A new executive order has designated English as the United States’ official language and revoked Executive Order 13166, which included language access directives to federal agencies. This policy shift could have major consequences for language service providers (LSPs), language service companies (LSCs), federally funded organizations, and the communities they serve.
What does this mean for you?
Join us as we break down the implications of this executive order and what it could mean for language access policies, federal funding requirements, and the future of interpreting and translation services. Whether you work with LEP communities, contract with government agencies, or operate in the language services industry, understanding these changes is critical.
In this webinar, we’ll discuss:
- The scope and legal impact of the executive order
- How it may affect federally funded programs and compliance obligations
- Potential risks and challenges for language service providers and language access initiatives
- What steps professionals and organizations should take to prepare
This policy change could have language access implications in the U.S.—don’t wait to find out how it could impact your work. Register now to stay informed and ready.
