The Office of Minority Affairs (OMA) was created by the Nassau County Legislature and its mandated mission is to serve as a partner to the citizens of Nassau County in strengthening and building communities through programs which promote the establishment and preservation of minority and women owned business enterprises.

OMA advises and makes recommendations to the County Executive in developing policy on matters of County services that affect minority communities across the County. OMA also works in tandem with all County agencies and commissions to leverage resources, identify new opportunities, and ensure equitable access to business opportunities.

The Office of Minority Affairs is committed to and responsible for safeguarding the civil rights of employees and applicants for employment and for overseeing the County's Affirmative Action Program, including enforcement of Titles VI and VII of the Civil Rights Act. As you would expect, OMA also makes a purposeful effort to ensure that Nassau County employees enjoy a workplace that promotes mutual respect and is free of discrimination and harassment. OMA has established and maintains effective mechanisms for investigating and addressing instances of discrimination and harassment.

The Office of Minority Affairs provides a host of its own specialized services which are designed to deliver critical information to its constituents which will assist them in making informed decisions about new emerging opportunities. OMA conducts seminars, workshops, lectures and other special events on a regular basis in targeted communities.

The Office of Minority Affairs takes a leadership role in developing a network of supports and resources that will make community presence and participation a reality affirming the vision that all citizens participate in the life of their community while receiving the supports needed to be productive and valued community members.
