National Honey Board Diversity Policy

The Board’s programs are open to all individuals without regard to race, color, national origin, gender, religion, age, disability, political beliefs, sexual orientation, and marital or family status or other basis protected by law; and it is the Board’s policy that membership on the Board and its committees reflect the diversity of individuals served by its programs.  It is therefore the Board’s policy to have industry representatives from diverse backgrounds on the Board and committees.  To this end, the Board strongly encourages women, minorities, and persons with disabilities to seek nominations to the Board and committees, and to participate in Board and committee activities.  The Board strongly encourages those qualified organizations making nominations to make every effort to emphasize the selection of qualified persons for Board positions without regard to race, color, national origin, gender, religion, age, disability, political beliefs, sexual orientation, and marital or family status or other basis protected by law.
