Management Directive 715 (MD-715) EEO Plan Preparation
Management Directive 715 (MD-715) is the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s (EEOC) framework for federal agencies to develop and maintain effective equal employment opportunity (EEO) programs. Agencies are required to submit annual MD-715 reports that assess barriers to equal opportunity and outline strategic plans for achieving a model EEO program.
