- Advance the cause of nondiscrimination with respect to gay male, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered persons at NIST.
- Advise persons and managers about issues of concern to gay male, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered persons.

- Work to eliminate real or perceived prejudice and discrimination in the Agency based on sexual orientation, including, but not restricted to, employment, assignment, promotion, performance evaluation, and partnership rights.
- Cooperate with other NIST and Federal employee organizations in pursuit of common diversity objectives, including awareness that sexual orientation is unrelated to a person's job performance.
