Minority & Women Inclusion
November 18, 2010, Alexandria, Va. — National Credit Union Administration Chairman Debbie Matz announced today that Tawana Y. James has been selected to head the agency’s new Office of Minority and Women Inclusion (OMWI) to be established effective January 21, 2011.
The OMWI is being created in response to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, signed into law by President Obama on July 21, 2010. As OMWI director, Ms. James will oversee all Dodd-Frank Act requirements related to diversity in management, employment, and business activities, including:
Equal employment opportunity and the racial, ethnic, and gender diversity of the workforce and senior management of the agency;
Increased participation of minority-owned and women-owned businesses in the programs and contracts of the agency, including standards for coordinating technical assistance to such businesses;
Assessing the diversity policies and practices of entities regulated by the agency; and
Preserving credit unions run by minorities and/or serving minorities.
“Tawana will bring to this position a wealth of experience and skills in dealing with challenging assignments,” commented NCUA Chairman Debbie Matz. “She has demonstrated over the years an ability to stand up a new office and to provide valuable assistance to credit unions serving diverse communities. I have every confidence that Tawana will make the Office of Minority and Women Inclusion an effective advocate for diversity, both at NCUA and at credit unions.”
