JOE Talks Presents Army Personnel and Project Inclusion
On February 24th, OCPA-LA hosted their second JOE Talk featuring a discussion on reforms and initiatives within the Army to ensure diversity, equity and inclusiveness in our ranks at all levels. Mr. Anselm Beach, Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army (Equity and Inclusion Agency) and Lt. Gen. Gary Brito, Assistant Chief of Staff for Army Personnel (G-1) discuss the myriad of programs of initiatives to meet that goal.
Professionals in the entertainment industry know very well how critical accurate representation is in entertainment media to the American people's understanding of a topic. Within the Army, we are also well aware of how important it is that those who choose to serve in our uniform are a reflection of the nation they serve. Mr. Beach and LTG Brito discuss historical challenges to diversity, equity and inclusiveness and our current programs and initiatives to tackle those challenges such as: the Army People Strategy, Project Inclusion, the Strategy on Expanding diverse talent in the Officer Corps, the updated Army Diversity Plan, and updated policies on diversity training and combating extremism.
We were very excited to have them visit and speak on these very important topics.
