National Council on Disability EEO Policy Statement
The mission of the National Council on Disability (NCD) is to serve as a trusted advisor to the
President, Congress, federal entities, state and local governments, tribal communities and
other entities. Fundamental to this mission is the obligation to honor the diversity of NCD’s
workforce and treat all employees with respect and dignity. NCD promotes Equal Employment
Opportunity (EEO), to encourage a climate that capitalizes on the diversity and professionalism
of our workforce. Discriminatory or harassing behavior is not tolerated. Pursuant to anti-
discrimination statutes, including Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended (“Title
VII”) and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, employment decisions are based on equal
employment opportunity for all employees and applicants for employment, regardless of their
race, religion, color, sex (including pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions), national
origin, age, genetic information, disability, retaliation, or any other status protected by federal
laws and regulations. Accordingly, these protections extend to all management practices and
decisions, including, but not limited to, recruitment and hiring practices, transfers,
reassignments, benefits, separations, appraisal systems, merit promotions, training and career
development programs. All employees will have the freedom to compete on a fair and level
playing field with equal opportunity for competition.
In accordance with the anti-discrimination statutes, and EEOC guidance, NCD promotes an
environment free of discrimination and any form of harassment, where employees may work
without fear of reprisal, and where all employees and applicants with qualified disabilities and
targeted disabilities receive reasonable accommodations, so they can be successful at their
work and where all employees are recognized for their individual performance and
contributions to NCD.
Additionally, NCD remains equally committed to the full and meaningful implementation of EEO
policies for all NCD employees and applicants consistent with applicable federal civil rights
