<b>Commitment to Diversity</b><br>
<br>
Diversity is critical to the success of the mission of the AGO. This means recognizing, respecting, and appreciating all cultures and backgrounds- and fostering the inclusion of differences between people. Appreciating, valuing and implementing principles of diversity permits AGO employees to achieve their fullest potential in an inclusive, respectful environment.<br>
<br>
One recent measure of the AGO's commitment to diversity can be found in its nomination for <b>Rainbow Alliance and Inclusion Network's </b>&quot;Outstanding Agency Award&quot; in 2019. Our commitment to employee wellness is reflected in earning the 2024 Zo8 Washington Wellness Award.</p><p><b>
