«(...)Two accomplishments that warrant special attention this year are the ways we came together as colleagues and friends to engage with and support each other as our nation confronted the effects of (1) COVID-19 and (2) the continuing disparities resulting from bias and racism. In both respects, recognizing that our human capital is our most important asset, we listened, we learned, and we took action to make ourselves and our organization better, both operationally and culturally. Here, I thank our Office of Information Technology for keeping us connected in a mandatory telework posture and our Office of Minority and Women Inclusion for driving engagement as well as the adoption of tangible initiatives to improve diversity, inclusion, and opportunity at the Commission and more broadly. Without these efforts, many of our accomplishments would not have been possible, and none of them would have been as meaningful. (...)». - JAY CLAYTON Chairman November 12, 2020.
