Dear Stakeholder Community,
I am pleased to announce that Maya Raghu joined OFCCP on Monday, July 19, 2021 as our Deputy Director for Policy.
Maya served as the Director of Workplace Equality and Senior Counsel at the National Women’s Law Center (NWLC), where she developed and coordinated priorities and strategies for NWLC’s workplace gender equality efforts, with a focus on low paid workers. She led federal legislative and regulatory initiatives and advocacy, stakeholder engagement, engaged in narrative shift and culture change efforts, and impact litigation and amicus briefs on a range of workplace gender equality and economic security issues including pay equity, harassment, and civil rights enforcement.
Prior to joining NWLC, Maya was a senior attorney at Futures Without Violence and a senior staff attorney at Legal Momentum (formerly NOW Legal Defense and Education Fund), addressing economic security, gender discrimination in employment and housing, and gender-based violence, with an emphasis on immigrant and low-income women. Her work encompassed litigation, legislative and policy advocacy, public education and training, multi-sector initiatives, and cross-movement collaboration. She was also previously an associate at Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP and a law clerk to the Hon. Vanessa D. Gilmore of the Southern District of Texas. She is a graduate of Trinity University and Georgetown University Law Center.
Join us as we welcome Maya to OFCCP. We are looking forward to the expertise she brings in helping to continue the journey of tackling inequality, advancing fairness and dignity for all in the workplace.
Best,
Jenny R. Yang
OFCCP Director
