2023 Impact Report:
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
“Our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion is a core part of our values and how we lead. Together with our community, we have made forward progress and continue exploring ways to create a more inclusive space where all people belong. There will always be opportunities to do more, and we will continue championing inclusion through the power of sport.”
– Nitra Rucker, Vice President of DE&I and Talent
“The FLAME program was the turning point of my life as a young professional. It not only introduced me to the Olympic and Paralympic Movement, it also gave me the opportunity to become part of the team behind the team. Because of FLAME, I networked with various individuals and departments, which ultimately led to an internship during the 2012 London Games. That internship led to a contracted position for the 2014 Sochi Games. Ten years later, I am back at the USOPC as a full-time employee gearing up for the Paris 2024 Games.”
– Mylan Murphy, Athlete Marketing Manager
