Diversity
The Indiana National Guard’s diversity and inclusion initiatives promote a cultural climate, which allows people to maximize their potential by embracing each other’s holistic characteristics. Diversity is not a program or policy – it is a state of being. Diverse experiences, perspectives and backgrounds can empower us to incorporate fresh approaches and new ideas in our work, sparking innovation that enables us to more effectively perform the duties entrusted by our government and fellow citizens.
The INNG’s Joint Diversity Executive Council (JDEC), comprised of senior leaders appointed by the adjutant general, meets quarterly to discuss diversity and inclusion efforts internal and external to the Indiana National Guard and to measure progress of our diversity strategic plan.
