The GAO-USACE Chapter of Blacks In Government (BIG) is dedicated to Representing the Interests of African Americans in the Government Accountability Office (GAO) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE).

​

The representation of our members from mission and mission support organizations in each agency provides us with a broad perspective of employment issues. At GAO, the work of our chapter has helped to shape employment policies and practices, and was a significant factor in the initiation of a 2008 study by the Ivy Group of performance disparities between African American analyst and analysts of other racial groups in GAO.
