NCRACC | Civil Rights | NRCS
The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) civil rights program encompasses all equal employment opportunity and program delivery-related matters.
The National Civil Rights Advisory Committee to the Chief (NCRACC) is designed to provide management officials and employees with counsel and advice to enhance and ensure compliance with their equal employment opportunity and program delivery responsibilities.
Members of the NCRACC will carry out their responsibilities consistent with USDA policies, procedures, and practices regarding employment and program delivery, which are nondiscriminatory with regard to race, color, national origin, religion, sex, gender identity (including gender expression), sexual orientation, disability, age, marital status, family/parental status, political beliefs, or because all or a part of an individual's income is derived from any public assistance program.
The NCRACC provides assistance in the areas of policy formulation, program direction and administration.
