GFA will continue to support efforts to build a diverse government workforce, which research shows will yield the best results for our communities. People are policy. https://t.co/OpPngCmNcA

🧵A government that reflects the people it serves can deliver better results and achieve greater equity for our communities. We all benefit when public servants of all races, backgrounds and lived experiences bring their perspectives into gov to implement more inclusive policies.

We believe that holistic admissions are an important tool to achieve diversity, equity and inclusion and are grateful for the key role our college and university partners play in creating a pipeline of diverse candidates for government jobs.
