NCUA OMWI releases annual report to Congress 

The NCUA’s Office of Minority and Women Inclusion (OMWI) released its 2023 annual report to Congress. The report revealed “the agency’s efforts in ensuring fair and inclusive business practices and assessing its regulated entities’ diversity policies and practices.” 

The report specifically highlighted that: 

  • 47.5% of the agency’s reportable contracting dollars were awarded to minority- or women-owned businesses;  
  • 41.4% of the NCUA’s workforce participated in an employee resource group; 
  • 17% of the agency’s workforce self-identified as having disabilities; and 
  • 6.3% of new hires by the NCUA were Schedule A hires in 2023, compared to 4.3% in 2022. 

The Schedule A hiring authority allows federal agencies to hire people with disabilities without going through the typical competitive process.
