Diversity, equity, and inclusion strategic programming and ongoing practices at NOIRLab

Ongoing improvement and roll-out of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) best practices continue to be a key priority at the NSF National Optical-Infrared Astronomy Research Laboratory (NOIRLab) and the Rubin Construction Project. NOIRLab strives to be a leader in the astronomical community in the development of DEIA programs for employees, the scientific user community, and our communities where facilities are located. NOIRLab continues to build upon its foundational DEIA Strategic Plan. The DEI Officer leads the DEI Committee, which continues to strengthen the infrastructure of DEIA at the center. The flagship program of DEIA is the Broadening Participation program, which invites all 500+ staff at NOIRLab to spend up to 3% of their work time on DEIA or community engagement activities. This paper discusses all of the different opportunities that staff have to make DEIA a part of their work, and not a compartmentalized effort. We overview the work undertaken by the DEI Committee and allies throughout NOIRLab and Rubin to build DEIA into everything we do, aligning ourselves with the recommendations of the Astro2020 decadal survey, especially focusing on creating a new community astronomy model. Community astronomy recognizes astronomy participation as a two-way street, where the communities in which we occupy land and sites have equal participation in the science being done, and a culture of shared leadership is defined. We will also update on the establishment of the DEI Programs Manager position and an office of DEIA at NOIRLab.
