Join Us - SSA's Equity Action Plan Stakeholder Engagement Meeting
Date:
Dear Colleague,
Please join us for a national meeting to learn about our Equity Action Plan in support of President Biden's Executive Order 13985 on Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government. We will convene the meeting via Microsoft Teams on Thursday, June 16, 2022, from 1:00 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. ET
My leadership team and I will discuss our comprehensive approach to advancing equity for people who have been historically underserved, marginalized, and adversely affected by persistent poverty and inequality. Discussion topics will include:
- Identifying inequities in our programs and services;
- Identifying and addressing systemic barriers to program participation;
- Ensuring equitable service for unrepresented claimants in the disability application process;
- Increasing gender equity and equality in our programs; and
- Increasing equitable access to our research grants and procurement opportunities for Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Minority Serving Institutions, and small and disadvantaged businesses.
Please register by Wednesday, June 15, 2022, to learn more about this historic plan. After registering, you will receive a follow-up email with the meeting agenda and Microsoft Teams link. Please share this invitation through your networks.
