Promoting diversity, equity, inclusions, and accessibility, NASA appoints a new DEI lead and administrator to manage its commitment to the ‘S’ in ESG

The organisation leading several major innovation projects with echoing effects across the globe, NASA is a critical organisation for research and development, and creating a better understanding of the world around us.

From research in energy and water consumption to the development of technology to reduce our impacts on the environment—an emissions reduction effort, NASA is working tirelessly behind the scenes to inform industries.

However, to complete the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) conversation, the organisation is also focusing on the ‘S’, making changes to meet the needs of a diverse workforce.

Leaders at NASA recently appointed new leaders for diversity, equity, and inclusion. On March 27th 2023, Steve Shih was named the space agency’s first Diversity Ambassador, and Elaine Ho was appointed to work alongside him as the next associate administrator for the Office of Diversity and Equal Opportunity at its HQ.

Exactly.

Pursuit of a meritocracy has always been a conservative position. Let the best rise to the top based on their skill and hard work.

But are they still spending our tax dollars to make moslems feel good about themselves, are they still committed to that? Another good reason to want private space companies.
