NASA announced that it would be hiring two "diversity champions" for the space agency, in another example of high profile diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) proponents taking top spots at government agencies.
The announcement, first made on March 27, named Steve Shih as "the agency's first Diversity Ambassador" and chose Elaine Ho as the next associate administrator for the Office of Diversity and Equal Opportunity at the organization’s headquarters.
"Now, more than ever, NASA is leading all of humanity on an unprecedented journey of discovery, exploration and innovation," NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said in a press statement. "To be successful in our missions, diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility must continue to be at the forefront. Steve and Elaine's leadership will help NASA continue to ensure our workforce reflects all of America and to inspire partners throughout our nation – for the benefit of all humanity."
