One Minnesota Council

Governor Tim Walz signed his administration’s first Executive Order in January 2019, Executive Order 19-01, which established the One Minnesota Council on Inclusion and Equity (One Minnesota Council or OMC) to set goals and work collaboratively to address diversity, inclusion, and equity in state government practices—including recruiting, retaining, and promoting employees; state government contracting; and civic engagement.

The One Minnesota Council is focused on ensuring that those who are most affected by state government decisions are involved and centered in the decision-making process. The executive order stated that the OMC would develop a long-range plan to achieve its goals.
