What is RDI?

The mission of the Office of Relevancy, Diversity, and Inclusion (RDI) is to champion an organizational culture that is increasingly inclusive and participatory, which values the diverse ideas, experience and background of every individual, and empowers an innovative, flexible and resilient NPS to engage the opportunities and challenges of the future.

The NPS defines relevancy, diversity, and inclusion as (1) Relevancy is achieved when all Americans are able to establish a personal connection to the NPS and its mission. (2) Diversity represents the practice of incorporating people of different backgrounds, perspectives, and beliefs throughout the organization. This ensures that the NPS is advantaged by the best thinking possible. (3) Inclusion is the practice of building a culture that is flexible. An inclusive culture values diverse ideas and embraces the meaningful participation of all.
