The Special Emphasis Program is an integral part of NRCS’s Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) program. Special Emphasis Program Manager (SEPM) positions were established to assist agencies in ensuring that EEO is present in all aspects of employment and that positive actions are being taken to address under representation. SEPMs provide advice and assistance to management officials in order to help them meet EEO program goals and objectives.

Attached are the roles and responsibilities of collateral-duty BEPM that will provide you with the priority for the BEPM, and an example Memorandum of Understanding that will need to be developed and signed by the BEPM, his/her supervisor, and the State Conservationist. For additional information refer to General Manual Part 403.

This is an excellent opportunity to expand your career and personal goals. If you are interested in serving as the Black Emphasis Program Manager, please fill out the attached form and return to Pauline Paré by April 18, 2008.
