I*DEA Media Kit

About Project

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Office of Resolution Management, Diversity & Inclusion (ORMDI) advances an inclusive environment that values and supports the diverse communities VA serves—employees, Veterans, their families, caregivers, and survivors—and cultivates equitable access to care, benefits, and services for all. With the release of Executive Orders 13985 and 14035 and other related Orders, and amidst growing social unrest, VA has a unique and meaningful opportunity. That opportunity is not only to identify and eliminate institutional barriers to equity at VA, but to proactively develop, enhance, and deliver agency-wide practices that will put the Department at the forefront of the federal movement to ensure inclusion, diversity, equity, and access to underserved and otherwise marginalized communities. To demonstrate commitment to this goal and weave these principles into the very fabric of the Department, VA launched an enterprise-wide initiative: I*DEA. The I*DEA media kit is an 18-page interactive, 508-compliant PDF that introduces I*DEA, outlines initiative priorities, and provides resources and links to external parties.
