The 2013-2017 Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action Program Plan is the result of a collaborative effort of all City bureaus and sets out the City's workforce placement and development objectives and methods for accomplishing those objectives. The AAP plan and the companion Diversity Development Strategic Initiative set out the City's commitment to diversity and inclusion. The current City’s AAP for the years 2013-2017 demonstrates a continued commitment to equal employment opportunity and affirmative action.
