Office of Minority & Women Inclusion (OMWI) Reports & Workforce Data

The Federal Reserve Board of Governors and each Federal Reserve Bank established an Office of Minority and Women Inclusion (OMWI) in January 2011, pursuant to Section 342 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (Dodd Frank). OMWI is responsible for all matters related to diversity in management, employment, and business activities including developing standards for:

  • Equal employment opportunity and racial, ethnic and gender diversity at all levels of the workforce
  • Increased participation of minority-owned and women-owned businesses in programs and contracts

OMWI Reports to Congress

Each Reserve Bank is required to submit an annual report to Congress on its respective efforts to comply with Dodd Frank as it relates to contracting with qualified minority and women-owned businesses; assessing internal diversity and performing outreach to women and minorities; and assessing workforce diversity of contractors.

The Richmond Fed provides a comprehensive account of our successes, challenges and next steps to deliver on these areas of focus in our annual OMWI Report to Congress.
