NTSB’s mission success requires every employee to be a valued, motivated, and highly functioning team member. EEODI plays a critical role in making that happen.
We do so by helping NTSB to eliminate EEO barriers and workplace conflicts that can diminish trust, impair teamwork, compromise safety and ultimately undermine excellence.

EEODI provides overall leadership and management for the equal employment opportunity, diversity and inclusion program at the NTSB. The office manages the Special Emphasis programs, processes discrimination complaints, and provides external reporting functions, to include such activities as periodic cultural climate assessments, diversity and inclusion benchmarking and best practice analyses, increased partnering with the Human Resources Division to enhance targeted outreach planning and recruitment efforts, implementation of structured diversity and inclusion awareness and engagement activities, diversity and inclusion education/training, workforce analysis (statistical trend monitoring), diversity and inclusion systemic integration, and development of a diversity and inclusion toolkit for supervisors and managers.
NTSB is an Agency where all employees are utilized, valued and have an equal chance to succeed, thereby increasing our overall capacity to make sound decisions that both enhance our work environment and facilitate our goal of promoting safety in all modes of transportation.
The mission of the Office of Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO), Diversity, and Inclusion (EEODI) is to provide overall leadership and management of EEO, diversity, and inclusion programs at the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and to ensure fairness and objectivity in employment, hiring, career development in the work environment. The office strives to foster a diverse workforce and an inclusive work environment. In doing so, the office provides oversight in implementing the NTSB’s diversity mission to ensure that all employees are utilized, respected, valued, and have an equal chance to succeed, thereby increasing the NTSB’s capacity to make sound recommendations that will enhance the safety of all modes of transportation.
