Leading FEMA's Equity Efforts. Jo Linda Johnson, Director of FEMA’s Office on Equal Rights (OER),
Leading FEMA's Equity Efforts
Equity is a
cornerstone of FEMA’s work to ensure that everyone is prepared for disasters
and has the support to recover from them. That’s the mission of Jo Linda
Johnson, Director of FEMA’s Office on Equal Rights (OER), whether it’s
working to shape a discrimination-free workplace for all FEMA employees, or
equal access to FEMA services for all disaster survivors. Johnson, who’s
worked at FEMA since 2018, admits it’s a big job. “Here at FEMA, I
own responsibility for the civil rights of 22,000+ FEMA employees internally
and 300 million members of the public who encounter FEMA-funded programs and
services externally. During the pandemic, that was just about everyone in the
country,” she said. Johnson’s
previous experience helped prepare her for leading the OER. She spent five
years as Director of the Transportation Security Administration’s Civil
Rights Division. Before that, she worked for 12 years with the U.S. Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission. Johnson has a law degree from George
Washington University in Washington, D.C. “Leadership
matters, and trust matters. When leaders are upfront, transparent, and open
to conversation and feedback, great things get done. Where there is low
trust, poor communication, and poor accountability, hard problems are harder,”
she said. “FEMA has so many
leaders—at all levels—who take extreme ownership of problems, pass no bucks,
and get hard things done. The amount of responsibility FEMA is asked to
shoulder—and the scope of problems FEMA is asked to solve—for the nation is
enormous.” Read more... |
