　　DHS is diverse, but we strive to be even more inclusive. Our director has made it her top priority that DHS is "the kind of place where a diverse group of talented people want to come, grow, and do their best work." This includes equity in hiring and advancement, as well as in unleashing the creativity and ideas of staff at every level of DHS.
