Contractors for Equal Opportunity (CEO) is a nationwide voluntary membership association of companies that have been negatively impacted by discrimination in in local, state, and federal contracting programs, such as the federal Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program and similar versions at the state and local levels.<\/p>\n
Whether governments use the phrase \u201cAffirmative Action,\u201d<\/em> \u201cDiversity, Equity, Inclusion,\u201d<\/em> or just \u201cSupplier Diversity,\u201d<\/em> these programs all illegally discriminate based on race and\/or gender. CEO members have experienced discrimination, higher costs, and\/or lost business because of these programs. CEO members can be either prime contractors or subcontractors.<\/p>\n To advance the interests of CEO members, CEO may become a party in one or more lawsuits, or party to civil-rights complaints filed with the appropriate agencies, with the goal of ending all discriminatory contracting programs. There is no cost to become a member of CEO, and membership in CEO is 100% voluntary.<\/p>\n CEO is represented pro bono by attorneys at the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty. We keep our members as confidential as they want to be, so they do not fear repercussions from their government.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Features” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#FFFFFF” locked=”off” collapsed=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.20.0″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”700px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.20.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”dfee434a-46a3-4fbb-bf0a-0c9d60915466″ header_2_font_size=”42px” text_orientation=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#efefef” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][el_gravity_forms_styler gravity_form_id=”Join CEO” submit_align=”center” submit_bg_color=”#383838″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” submit_button_text_font=”|700||on|||||” submit_button_text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” submit_button_text_font_size=”30px” background_color=”#efefef” border_radii_submit_button=”on|10px|10px|10px|10px” border_width_all_submit_button=”2px” border_width_all=”15px” border_color_all=”#efefef” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/el_gravity_forms_styler][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Footer” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#000000″ use_background_color_gradient=”on” background_color_gradient_stops=”#000000 0%|rgba(0,0,0,0) 100%” background_color_gradient_overlays_image=”on” background_enable_image=”off” background_position=”top_center” custom_padding=”||1px|||” saved_tabs=”all” locked=”off” collapsed=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.20.0″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”820px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.20.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”4b414043-578e-44b4-a42d-70e2f9b3e207″ header_2_text_color=”#FFFFFF” text_orientation=”center” header_2_font_size_tablet=”42px” header_2_font_size_phone=”32px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|tablet” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” text_orientation=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n CEO is an unincorporated non-profit association, and by-laws are available to all members upon request<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/equalopportunitycontracts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/WHITE-LOGO-Contractors-for-Equal-Opportunity-1024-x-320-px-2.png” title_text=”WHITE LOGO – Contractors for Equal Opportunity (1024 x 320 px) (2)” url=”@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybCIsInNldHRpbmdzIjp7fX0=@” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _dynamic_attributes=”url” _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/equalopportunitycontracts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/WILL-White-Logo-Long-3-1.png” title_text=”WILL White Logo Long 3 (1)” url=”https:\/\/will-law.org\/” url_new_window=”on” align=”center” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”center” align_last_edited=”off|phone” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” width_tablet=”” width_phone=”” width_last_edited=”on|desktop” max_width=”95%” max_width_tablet=”70%” max_width_phone=”70%” max_width_last_edited=”on|desktop” custom_padding=”40px||||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”0px||||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”0px||||false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Contractors for Equal OpportunityContractors for Equal Opportunity (CEO) is a nationwide voluntary membership association of companies that have been negatively impacted by discrimination in in local, state, and federal contracting programs, such as the federal Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program and similar versions at the state and local levels.
