The Board of Governors and each Federal Reserve Bank established an Office of Minority and Women Inclusion (OMWI) in January 2011, pursuant to Section 342 of the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the Act). The Act also requires submission of an annual report to Congress discussing the Bank’s efforts to comply as it relates to the fair inclusion of minorities, women, and minority-owned and women-owned businesses in Bank business activities including contracting and outreach programs.
