OEEMA developed and published the Diversity and Inclusion Initiatives Report (DIIR) in an effort to capture and report on the multiplicity of diversity and inclusion related activities around the Institution. The data for this report was drawn from a SharePoint website that allowed units to submit any and all efforts they felt met the criteria of a diversity and inclusion initiative. To help units identify what can be included in this report, units were encouraged to consider programs, activities, recruitment, and outreach efforts that fall under the following three categories: • Program Diversity • Supplier Diversity • Workforce Diversity This report contains more than 530 entries from 20 Smithsonian units. While the Executive Summary is only 11 pages, the entire report consists of 123 pages of tables and text. For quick access to your unit’s information, please reference the table of contents. The Report demonstrates the Smithsonian’s ongoing commitment to reflect the nation’s pluralism in its workforce, programming and business relationships. The OEEMA staff expresses their appreciation to all the units who participated in the development of this report and for their support of diversity and inclusion in all of the Smithsonian’s operations. Prepared by the Office of Equal Employment and Minority Affairs 3 Smithsonian Diversity and Inclusion Initiatives Report Fiscal Year 2019 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ALL SMITHSONIAN The goal was to increase the recognition of the Smithsonian brand to under-served communities and increase representation in the Smithsonian’s workforce, supplier base and public programming. More than 530 initiatives were submitted by 20 Smithsonian units with 121 classified as STEM initiatives. All historically underrepresented groups were represented in the diversity and inclusion initiatives. The highest percent of initiatives (23% and 16% respectively) targeted African Americans and Hispanics. The percentage of initiatives aimed at historically underrepresented groups greatly exceeded their representation in the Civilian Labor Force. This report also includes residents of under-resourced communities. While this group and others have no recognized percentage of reference, they are an important focus in the Smithsonian’s efforts to increase and diffuse knowledge across the United States and around the world.
