MEMBERSHIP
The Chicago DAC is comprised of Federal employees the Chicago FEB agency heads nominate to represent their agencies. DAC members are individuals with an interest in and commitment to diversity who are motivated and enabled to actively support the DAC’s mission, including work on tasks and projects.
STRUCTURE
The Chair, appointed by the Chicago FEB from among the DAC members, leads the Council, along with other officers as the DAC determines. The DAC receives support from the Chicago FEB and its staff and functions at the pleasure of the Chicago FEB’s Executive Committee, which can request and recommend programs and implement any changes to the DAC that it feels would better serve the needs of the Chicago federal community.
Recent projects include
- Mentoring Lunch & Learn Program
- Emergency Preparedness and People with Disabilities
- Job Fairs and Workshops throughout FY 2004
(Coordinated with City of Chicago - Mayor's Office of Workforce Development) - American Sign Language Training (Beginning Level)

We have assembled a list of Latino/Hispanic resources to aid Federal agencies with easy access to organizations to contact to announce vacancies.
