Throughout CDC, diversity is an integral part of the identity of the agency, from public health research, disease and injury prevention and control efforts, and day-to-day management activities, and we are committed to ensuring that each employee is a valued contributor to CDC′s mission. With this goal in mind, please take a moment to read the attached policy statement on diversity and to contemplate your personal role in implementing CDC′s vision of a diverse workforce.
