As the Secretary said, "Diversity makes any organization stronger – and for the State Department, it's mission-critical. We are representing the United States, and we need a workforce that reflects the diverse country we are." The Biden-Harris Administration has made clear that diversity, inclusion, equity, and accessibility are top priorities, and it is committed to ensuring our institutions and our workforce reflect the full strength and diversity of our country.
