Ir <br /> IrPreface <br /> As we enter the last decade of the twentieth century, <br /> Orange County Government faces new challenges in the <br /> implementation of its EEO/AA program. <br /> Our vision is a workforce which is free from all illegal <br /> as well as environmental roadblocks to professional growth. <br /> We can not claim to recruit and retain the "brightest and the <br /> best" without making every effort to secure employee <br /> representation from the ranks of women, minorities, older <br /> workers, and the handicapped. We must not rest on our <br /> laurels. The mere hiring of minorities , women and other <br /> protected groups is ineffectual if those hirings are not <br /> backed by formal and informal support to keep those <br /> individuals progressing up the career ladder. To fail to do <br /> so jeopardizes our commitment to excellence. <br /> The principles embodied in Equal Employment Opportunity <br /> policies are, in a practical sense, tools of sound management <br /> rather than impositions of Federal law. <br /> Our goal is to foster an environment in Orange County <br /> government which assures equal opportunity for al, employees. <br /> t / _ <br /> ' John7ink Jr. " <br /> Co ty Manager 1e Wr. !ht ► rner, <br /> Personnel Di •ector <br /> 1 <br /> 1 <br /> 1 <br /> I <br /> ii <br /> 1 <br />
