NASA Goddard is one of the best places to work on space
earth science in the entire world. For years
Goddard has placed great importance on creating an equitable, diverse and
and inclusive work environment for each and every individual.
Women are such a critical component of our successes here at Goddard, both in
building spacecraft and instruments and technology and in creating
creating new missions and producing ground-breaking science results from the
data we collect and freely distribute to the world.
But there is always room for improvement. About one-fourth of both
scientists and engineers here at Goddard are women.
We cannot innovate, inspire, and discover without the talents of all
Americans and all contributors from around the world.
Today, the Women of Goddard Advisory Committee and the
Equal Opportunity Programs Office are launching a new campaign.
We're calling it Women of Goddard: Awareness to Action.
The initiative has three major goals:
One: Provide awareness and visibility to Goddard's equity, diversity
and inclusion goals. Two: Promote equality and celebrate
the contributions and achievements of the women of Goddard.
Three, and most importantly: we are calling on all Goddard
employees to be agents of change and make a personal commitment
to equity, diversity and inclusion.
We will conduct road shows, host brown bag luncheons, and launch a campaign
in support of center-wide gender equality. Together, we can
close the gender gap and insure Goddard is a workplace in which
all people are treated equitably, creativity is encouraged
ideas are valued, and all individuals are able to work
to their full potential. Please join us, as we commit
to building and sustaining an inclusive work environment
including women's equality.
