Mississippi Civil Rights Mission

The Mississippi Civil Rights Committee is an advisory body to the State Conservationist, who serves as the Deputy Equal Opportunity Officer.  The Committee seeks to promote and assist in meaningful and effective affirmative action consistent with the goals and objectives set forth by management.

• It provides feedback on the performance of equal opportunity, workforce diversity, and civil rights program.
• It identifies areas of weakness, and makes recommendations for improvements to Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) officials in the state of Mississippi.
• It identifies emerging areas needing special attention and makes recommendations to the State Conservationist regarding policies, practices, and procedures that adversely affect the achievement of equal opportunity, workforce diversity, and civil rights goals and objectives.

The Committee also seeks to remove the perception/myth that civil rights is a minority issue by using open and honest communication at all levels.
