**Duties**:
Basic function: The Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) Coordinator is an ex-officio non-voting member of the joint Ottawa/Halifax/Quebec City/Winnipeg DEIA Council, and ex-officio non-voting member of the other mission DEIA councils, who implements and advances DEIA efforts at the U.S. Mission to Canada. The position helps draft goals and track progress. The position advocates for DEIA initiatives within the Embassy and Consulates and may assist with coordinating administrative tasks for cross agencies/section efforts for externally focused DEIA activities.
