Voluntary Employee Organizations at NIST
Voluntary employee organizations (VEOs) are voluntary, employee-led groups whose aim is to foster a diverse, inclusive workplace aligned with achieving the NIST mission. They are usually led and participated in by employees or staff members who connect over common interests, identities, and/or initiatives. The groups exist to provide support and help in personal or career development and to create a space where employees can bring their whole selves to the table. Allies are also invited to join VEOs to support their colleagues. At NIST, we have more than 30 VEOs which consist of affinity groups, employee resource groups, and OU DEIA councils.
