Diversity Council

The VA Diversity Council serves as an independent executive level body that provides advice and recommendations to the Secretary of Veterans Affairs on areas related to diversity and inclusion. The Council is composed of representatives from each of the Department’s major organizations, staff offices, and stakeholders and serves as a communications link between the workforce and leadership and a forum to share best practices, consider new initiatives, monitor progress, leverage resources, and ensure accountability in the area of organizational diversity and inclusion. The Diversity Council ensures that diversity and inclusion considerations are integrated throughout VA’s strategic planning efforts, business practices, and organizational components.  On this page, you will find links to information related to the work of the Diversity Council.  Take a look at the 2011 Biennial Report (text-only).

The Diversity Council charter (text only) is available as is a list of Diversity Council members.

If you would like to attend or gain access the teleconference, contact Yvonne Rannels.
