U.S. Senate Unanimously Confirms President Obama’s Nomination of Victoria A. Lipnic to Second Term on the EEOC

The United States Senate this week, by voice vote, approved President Obama’s nomination of Republican Victoria A. Lipnic to serve for a second five-year term on the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). She will serve a term ending on July 1, 2020.

The President nominated Ms. Lipnic for a second term this past July, and although her previous term officially ended on July 1, 2015, under the rules governing EEOC appointments, she has been able to continue serving as a Commissioner pending Senate confirmation. Her appointment means that the Commission will function with a full complement of five commissioners until at least July 2016, barring any resignation.
