            **JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-LACKLAND, Texas (AFNS) --**Armed with a recently approved charter to affirm its direction, the**Air Force Installation and Mission Support Center**’s Diversity and Inclusion Council is working to create an organizational culture that fosters equality and equity throughout the enterprise.The charter serves as the blueprint for the council, a strategic advisory board of about 40 volunteers from various AFIMSC units around the globe. Established by**Maj. Gen. John T. Wilcox III**, AFIMSC commander, in September, the council began to determine the goals and prioritize the objectives needed to nurture diversity and inclusion.“Our charter is only the beginning. It must remain a living document capable of change as societal issues change,” Wilcox said. “Ultimately, this is about becoming a better team by building lasting and meaningful trust relationships amongst ourselves. Our focus is to make AFIMSC a better place for everyone.”**The charter identifies specific council tasks that include:**
– Reviewing systems, programs and policies as they relate to diversity and inclusion
– Identifying systemic problems that may hinder diversity, equity, and inclusion, and then recommending solutions
– Reviewing demographic data on race, ethnicity, age, education and gender diversity to identify possible barriers to diversity and inclusion
– Developing and recommending the implementation of diversity training, plans, policies and surveys as needed
– Conducting quarterly diversity and inclusion development events and annual Diversity Focus Day sessions
– Developing informational material

**Current and future initiatives include:**

– Hosting sensing sessions that help determine organizational culture. The information collected will help shape AFIMSC’s future values and vision
– Implementing a centralized hiring process for entry level positions to help reduce the potential impact of bias
– Establishing diverse hiring panels for supervisory and GS-14/15 and equivalent position hiring actions
– Providing hiring panel feedback to non-selects
– Increasing the presence of underrepresented groups in senior civilian jobs
– Increasing mentor/coaching participation
– Revising the AFIMSC awards program policy
– Implementing unconscious bias training
– Partnering with the**Air Force Materiel Command** to deliver the recently developed Supervisor Development Course

“We aim to build a workforce based on merit, dignity and respect that successfully integrates everyone by giving them the opportunity and means to realize their maximum potential,” said Carol Dallas, AFIMSC D&I manager in the Directorate of Personnel.Download or read the AFIMSC Diversity & Inclusion Charter**here**.LR
