About Us

Diversity and Inclusion

At the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, we are committed to building an inclusive workplace, where our differences—in gender, race, age and ethnicity, as well as in cultural traditions, religion, life experiences, education, sexual orientation and socioeconomic backgrounds—are recognized as our strength. The decisions and recommendations we produce at the St. Louis Fed must reflect a variety of perspectives. Diversity allows each of us to bring our unique perspectives to the table when generating ideas and solving problems, and encourages an environment where innovation and excellence thrive.

Diversity Initiatives

• Our S.T.R.I.D.E.S.™ initiative (sensitivity, teamwork, respect, inclusion, diversity, engagement, success) represents the manner in which we interact in our work environment. This initiative positions the St. Louis Fed for success, both today and in years to come.
• Our Diversity Council serves as a sounding board, change agent and advocate for awareness. Council members help plan and coordinate presentations by outside speakers, community service opportunities and cultural events that celebrate diversity.
• Our Office of Minority and Women Inclusion is responsible for developing standards and procedures to ensure the inclusion of minorities, women, and women-owned and minority-owned business in all activities of the Bank, including procurement and work force diversity.
