State Leader Spotlight Johnnie Burns, Statewide Director of EEO, Diversity & Inclusion and ADA Johnnie began his new role in February, after having spent 24 years in civil rights, small business, compliance and diversity programming (spanning 3 states and 6 government agencies). In his current role, he is responsible for directing and managing the State of Minnesota Affirmative Action, Equal Employment Opportunity, ADA, and Veterans hiring for the executive branch state agencies and MnSCU. A message from Johnnie:  I am excited about being directly involved in the diversification of the state government. My entire career has been focused on civil rights, inclusion, and small businesses. Having an administration that believes in these areas and is putting resources towards them is extremely exciting. I am a former high school dropout and Job Corps student who went beyond expectations. I came to Minnesota in 1989 and eventually earned my Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice/Law Enforcement Administration. I learned about diversity while dealing with adversity.

Governor Dayton’s Diversity and Inclusion Report

Governor Dayton established the Diversity and Inclusion Council by Executive Order 15-02 in January 2015. The council recently released the 2016 Diversity and Inclusion Report updating policymakers and Minnesotans on efforts to improve diversity in the state’s workforce and business supplier chain, and to more equitably engage diverse people, communities, and businesses in the work of state government. 

Board of Peace Officer Standards and Training Seeking Board Members

The Office of Governor Dayton is currently accepting applications for four vacancies on the Board of Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST).

I encourage all Minnesotans, who have a desire to serve on this Board, and who meet the specific eligibility requirements established by the legislature, to submit their applications prior to the April 13 deadline.”

To apply, please submit an application, cover letter, and resume through the Minnesota Secretary of State’s website. The deadline to apply and receive full consideration is April 13, 2016.
