Civil Rights Senior Leader Awards
The U.S. Coast Guard is committed to equal employment opportunity and equal opportunity (EEO/EO) and to a discrimination-free work environment. This goal can only be achieved through commitment and the positive actions of leaders. In recognition of extraordinary service, each year a military leader (active duty or reserve) and a civilian leader will be selected for the Civil Rights Senior Leader Awards. This award honors leaders who demonstrate a high level of commitment to fairness and equal opportunity for all. These individuals embody the principles of civil rights/human rights, justice and equality and have made tremendous contributions toward attaining an Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO)/Equal Opportunity (EO) model program within their area of responsibility.
