The Indiana NRCS Civil Rights Committee is responsible for assisting and advising the State Conservationist  in the development and operation of the EEO Program. The committee will solicit from supervisors and employees suggestions on all phases of the Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) program and make recommendations to the State Conservationist. The Committee provides feedback on the progress of the EEO program and advises the State Conservationist on the development and implementation of the Affirmative Employment Plan of Operations (AEP) and progress reports, and identifies emerging program areas needing attention. The Committee serves as a vehicle to develop and promote the EEO program among all employees.

Special Emphasis Programs

Special emphasis activities and support are an integral part of the civil rights program at the Natural Resources Conservation Service. Within their respective programs, special emphasis program managers assist the State Conservationist, to ensure that equal opportunity is present in all aspects of NRCS programs and services. This includes assisting the State Conservationist to provide leadership to identify under representation and ensure positive actions are being taken to address any such problem areas. Special emphasis program managers assist the State Conservationist to provide advice and assistance to management officials in order to help them meet civil rights program goals and objectives. They also assist the State Conservationist to ensure effective communications among all persons and areas dealing with, or affected by, agency civil rights responsibilities.
