Karrah Herring, J.D.?Chief Equity, Inclusion, and Opportunity Officer State of Indiana
Ms. Herring will provide an overview of the State of the State in Equity, Inclusion, and Opportunity, answer questions, and facilitate an interactive discussion on areas of concern, recommendations, and future vision.
In November 2020, Governor Eric Holcomb appointed Karrah A. Herring to serve as Indiana’s first-ever chief equity, inclusion and opportunity officer. Her goal is to better build diversity and foster an inclusive environment within state government and the services provided so every Hoosier can take full advantage of their gifts and potential. As Director of the Office of Institutional Equity and Title IX coordinator, Herring provided oversight and support of the university’s efforts to comply with federal and state civil rights laws related to policies prohibiting discrimination, harassment, and retaliation. Herring created Notre Dame’s affirmative action plans, had oversight of employee disability compliance for the campus, and oversaw workplace investigations falling under Title VII and Title IX.
