Scope and Mandate of the Diversity Office

The goal of a CMS Diversity Office is to foster a working environment where all members of the Collaboration can thrive and bring in their talents, irrespective of age, career status, employment situation, institutional affiliation, geographical location, nationality, gender, ethnicity, family situation, sexual orientation, or disabilities.

The mandate of the Diversity Office is to:

• advise management and individuals on diversity related matters
• propose actions to promote diversity and create awareness
• monitor and record statistical information related to diversity
• actively listen to Collaboration members’ concerns
• report regularly to the Collaboration about status and progress of diversityrelated issues
• collaborate with relevant bodies outside CMS such as the CERN Diversity Office if required

The Diversity Office is a standing body of the Collaboration Board, with the Collaboration Board Chairperson and the Spokesperson being ex-officio members. The Diversity Office will have both closed and open meetings, at least at each of the typically five CMS weeks per year, and will report regularly to the Collaboration Board. The Diversity Office chairperson(s) become part of the Search and Award Committee.
