The Alabama Civil Rights Advisory Committee
The Alabama Civil Rights Advisory
Committee (CRAC) implements the requirements
of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which created the
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and prohibited discrimination
in employment based on race, color, religion, sex or national
origin. Executive Order 11478 stated that EEO is an integral part
of every aspect of the Federal Government's personnel policy.
The Committee also has certain responsibilities under Title VI
- Program Delivery.
The CRAC is responsible to the Deputy Equal Opportunity Officer
(State Conservationist). The committee serves the following functions:
- As an advisory body to
the State Conservationist to promote and assist in meaningful
and effective affirmative action consistent with the goals and
objectives set forth by management.
- Provides feedback on the
performance of the equal opportunity, workforce diversity, and
civil rights program, identifies areas of weakness, and makes
recommendations for improvements to other NRCS officials in the
State of Alabama.
- Identifies emerging areas
needing special attention by the State Conservationist and other
NRCS officials in the state of Alabama.
- This committee will support
and promote the Plan of Operations for equal opportunity, workforce
diversity, and civil rights.
- The committee will make
recommendations to the State Conservationist regarding policies,
practices, and procedures that adversely affect the achievement
of equal opportunity, workforce diversity, and civil rights goals
and objectives.
- Make recommendations to
the State Conservationist to see that all minority groups are
represented in the workforce. Outreach efforts will be made to
assure that objectives are reached.
There are sixteen representatives
on the Committee: six Special Emphasis Program Managers, two representatives from each administrative
area, and two
from the state office.
Members are active in field office reviews, area meetings, training,
and discussion groups.
