Equal Employment Opportunity

It is the policy of the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission that applicants and employees receive fair and equal treatment in all aspects of employment. It is the intent of the Commission to conduct all employment activities in a manner that shall assure equal employment opportunities for all persons on the basis of merit and without discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, ethnic origin, age, gender, sexual preference, or disability. The Commission is committed to attracting and retaining the best-qualified individuals, and maintaining a positive work environment that is free of retaliation, unlawful hostility, intimidation, or harassment.

The Commission believes that achieving equal opportunity objectives enhances the ability to accomplish the agency's mission. All Commission employees are responsible for implementing this policy in their daily actions, conduct, and decisions. The Commission is steadfast in its commitment to resolve any concerns promptly. Employees have several avenues for sharing and getting timely resolution of concerns.
