Mission of the DE&I Council

The Council’s mission is to attract, advance, and retain an inclusive and diverse workforce and to promote a respectful and supportive workplace where people of all identities (e.g. gender, race, sexual orientation, age, cultural background) and experiences are welcomed and integrated, so that everyone may contribute their talent and unique input to the NPP directorate and, by extension, to the mission of the Laboratory.
