*The following agencies did not reply to our request, so it was difficult to get an accurate count.
The Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) has an Office of Economic Opportunity headed by a Director of Diversity and Equal Opportunity. Her LinkedIn page notes the hiring of an Equal Opportunity Specialist. We also identified two DEI employees at the State Services for the Blind, a subsidiary of DEED.
The Minnesota Department of Revenue has a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Manager listed on their website, but it is unclear if there are other DEI employees.
The Attorney General’s office has an Affirmative Action Officer. We could not identify other DEI staff through their public website.
As of this writing, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency has not sent their list of DEI employees, writing, “We have staff devoted to some of this work, and our total staff numbers have changed during the past year. Will check into that and get back to you.
