Equal Opportunity/Diversity and Inclusion

The Equal Opportunity/Diversity and Inclusion Program creates and sustains an organization dedicated to mission effectiveness, valuing diversity and ensuring each individual has the opportunity and means to reach maximum potential. We will leverage the existing pool of talent within our structure and seek new talent representative of our demographics, education levels, cultural and professional background in all of the communities we serve. We will provide the necessary platform for leaders, Airmen, Soldiers and civilians to embrace each other's differences, and understand how our collectively focused energies will increase the effectiveness of our dual roles of supporting state and federal missions.
