What is the DAC?

The Minority Advisory Council (MAC) was established in 1990 to increase understanding and awareness of minority issues (officer and enlisted) at all levels of the Coast Guard. Similarly, the Women’s Advisory Council (WAC) was established in 1991 to address women’s concerns on issues such as the recruiting, retention, and advancement of active duty and reserve women.

In September of 1998, the MAC and WAC were consolidated to form a single Diversity Advisory Council (DAC). This consolidation allows one organizational entity to review, coordinate, and provide advice and recommendations across diversity initiatives. As the focal point for diversity initiatives, the DAC serves as a catalyst to ensure a broader and more comprehensive perspective that better reflects Team Coast Guard.

The DAC is chaired by the Chief of the Office of Diversity (CG-12B).  The Ethnic Policy Advisor, Gender Policy Advisor, Workforce Policy Advisor, and a Military Civil Rights Facilitator/Coordinator are also permanent members. Twenty other Council members are selected to represent a cross-section of occupational levels and include civilians, active duty and reserve officers, enlisted personnel, and auxiliarists. Members typically serve three year terms and meet on a semi-annual basis.

Council members are responsible for keeping their "finger on the pulse" of the climate of the Coast Guard environment in their geographic areas and bringing forward issues of concern. The Council reviews these issues and provides recommendations to the Commandant. Upon returning to their units, members help convey the Commandant’s feedback to the field.
