As part of DEOMI's endeavor of disseminating pertinent EO, EEO, diversity, and Cross-Cultural Competency information, our library staff has developed various avenues for DEOMI faculty, staff and practitioners in the Field and Fleet to become aware of the "current issues" that affect our mission of equal opportunity and equal employment opportunity training, education, and research. One method of accomplishing this is a weekly document created by our library staff we call EO/EEO News links which capture stories concerning subject matter that our EO and EEO professionals may be interested in.

If you elect to share this e-mail with your peers in the field or your respective Service headquarters, the attached file can also be accessed on the main page of DEOMI's public Website at www.deomi.org by clicking to the right of the headline that says "Click here to read Current EO/EEO News," or go directly to the link within the Website at: http://www.deomi.org/LibraryResources/CurrentEOEEONewsLinks.cfm. We are also keeping and archive of past issues of this document on this page as well.

It is our hope that the articles will help all of us capture "current issues" to share with others to ultimately become more aware of equal opportunity, equal employment opportunity, diversity and culture issues in the news. Our goal is to better educate ourselves and others to further our mission of equality and fairness for all.
