In November of 2020 Task Force One Navy (TF1N), released its report addressing the issues of racism, sexism and other destructive biases and their impact on naval readiness and provided “nearly 60 recommendations meant to enhance the Navy’s overall diversity and ensure that a culture of inclusivity is evident at every command.” Commander Naval Air Forces (CNAF) incorporated these findings into a new strategic plan for targeting cultural change in Naval Aviation. One such initiative is the ground breaking design and implementation of the inaugural CNAF Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Summit to be held November 1-2, 2021, in San Diego.
