Diversity and Inclusion
In 1999, the FDIC published its first Diversity Strategic Plan, outlining its commitment to recruiting and retaining the most qualified employees in the labor market. Our updated Plan ensures that we focus on relevant matters.
The Office of Minority and Women Inclusion (OMWI) was established in January 2011, pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, Section 342. OMWI is responsible for diversity in management, employment and business activities. We work to ensure the fair inclusion and use of minorities, women, and minority- and women-owned businesses, law firms, and investors in contracting and investment opportunities.
