== '''A Study on Black Executive Community in The Federal Public Service''' ==
The Black Executive Network/Regional Executive Network (BENREN) is pleased to share A Study of the Black Executive Community in the Federal Public Service, authored by Dr. Rachel Zellars and released earlier this month. This pivotal report was commissioned in 2023 in response to an existing perception that the Black executive community lacked the education, language, or citizenship qualifications necessary to achieve workforce representation aligned with workforce availability.
As a community of fewer than 100 Black professionals at that time, we knew deeply that these were not the true barriers holding us back. This disconnect revealed widespread misconceptions and a lack of understanding about the lived experiences and realities of Black executives.
Inspired by the transformative impact of Many Voices One Mind: A Pathway to Reconciliation, which shed light on the challenges faced by Indigenous Peoples within the federal public service; Dr. Zellars, a lawyer and associate professor, recognized for her critical work on implicit bias was commissioned by BENREN to undertake a study to critically examine and document the experiences, barriers, and opportunities within the Black executive community within the Federal Public Service. Recognizing the internal nature of the study, the initial release was limited, as the findings required an internal response from the federal public service.
Since releasing the study internally, we have observed a growing interest from individuals and organizations outside the public service wanting to read the report and better understand the issues it highlights. In response to this interest, we are now sharing the study more broadly, hoping it fosters meaningful dialogue and inspires collective action toward equity and inclusion.
