Culture and Diversity Effort

The Culture and Diversity Council (CDC) is an employee group that promotes the value of diversity. The CDC provides opportunities for all employees to learn and develop an awareness of the impact of Diversity in both their personal and professional lives. Through communication, employee involvement and educational events, the CDC encourages/facilitates organizational culture change.

Austin Energy's Diversity Effort brings attention to the attitudes we have towards others who are different from us. It provides opportunities for our employees to begin recognizing those differences and learning to get beyond cultural barriers. Austin Energy is committed to creating an environment which supports and encourages diversity in the workplace.
