POLICY STATEMENT
ON
EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY/AFFIRMATIVE ACTION
Consistent with federal and state laws and guidelines established for equal employment opportunity and
affirmative action, I would like to affirm my continuing policy to provide equal employment and
advancement opportunity in all job classifications of this agency without regard to political or religious
opinion or affiliation, race, creed, gender, age, color, national origin, or disability, so long as the disability
does not render the person unable to do the work for which employed.
The principles of equal employment opportunity apply to all employment practices and personnel actions
throughout the agency, including recruiting, hiring, promotions, demotions, separations, training, transfers,
layoffs (RIF), recall, compensation, benefits and all other terms and conditions of employment. I want to
remind each employee that all personnel actions as well as all decisions relating to employment practices are
to be made in accordance with the spirit of equal employment opportunity for all.
We have developed an affirmative action plan to help us achieve our goal of equal employment opportunity
for all. Sarah Mussett, CIB Business Manager, located in Shepherd Mall, Suite 5, telephone number (405)
271-2723, e-mail address sarahm@cib.state.ok.us, has been delegated the responsibility of implementing the
plan, including monitoring and evaluating our progress and reporting the results to me.
In addition, Sarah Mussett is assigned to serve as the Affirmative Action/Equal Employment Opportunity
Officer for this agency. She is available to any employee having questions or needing assistance in regard to
affirmative action or equal employment opportunity in this agency.
My personal commitment to this policy is complete. I accept overall responsibility for equal employment
opportunity and affirmative action within this agency. I expect each and every employee to perform his/her
duties and responsibilities in a manner that will demonstrate this agency’s firm commitment in this most
important area.
