To further this policy, we have established Affirmative Action Programs for minorities, women, persons with disabilities, and veterans in compliance with United States Department of Labor Relations; s. 16.765 Wisconsin Statutes and an Affirmative Action Plan in compliance with Madison General Ordinance Sections 3.23 and 3.58 of the City of Madison Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action Ordinance. We encourage protected individuals to assist in recruitment by referring prospective candidates for employment to the organization.
Or goal is to reach a balance of the work force, which reflects the makeup of our relevant labor market. All personnel who are responsible for hiring and promoting employees and for the development and implementation for programs or activities are charged to support this program. Copies of these programs/plans are available for review in the Human Resources Department. (Human Resources hours are 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday).

They have the responsibility for maintaining an audit and preparing reports relating to our Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action programs and will periodically report to me with regard to progress and problem areas.
My personal commitment to this policy is complete.
