Office of Minority and Women Inclusion
Established by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis’ Office of Minority and Women Inclusion (OMWI) is responsible for developing standards and procedures to ensure the inclusion of minorities, women, and women-owned and minority-owned business in all activities of the Bank, including procurement and workforce diversity.
The Office of Minority and Women Inclusion is required to report annually to Congress on procurement activities, on recruiting and hiring practices as they relate to minorities and women, and on contracting with qualified minority-owned and women-owned businesses. Section 342 of the Dodd-Frank Act requires the St. Louis Fed to submit to Congress an annual report on its previous year’s OMWI efforts. The Board of Governors publishes an annual OMWI report on its own efforts and includes data from the Federal Reserve System.
