Rhode to Equity

Through Rhode to Equity, the Equal Opportunity Office advances initiatives in hiring and recruitment, non-discrimination plan reporting, and mandatory training on cultural competency and nondiscrimination laws. The success of these efforts relies on collaboration with all state agencies, communities, and partners.  

As part of DEDI EOO’s RHODE TO EQUITY initiative, EOO is meeting individually with all RI state agencies with the following goals in mind:

• Engagement with DEDI’s Associate Director and EOO Administrator;
• Diversity Liaison program;
• Review of Non-Discrimination Plan (NDP) status and reports;
• Engaged processing of NDP;
• DEDI’s Cultural Competency Training and
• General communication and suggestions on how the engagement between DEDI and RI state agencies can be strengthened.
