Michael Leach, the first-ever White House diversity and inclusion
officer, will leave his post by the end of the month, a White House
official told The Hill.

Leach is special assistant to the president and chief diversity and
inclusion officer at the White House. He was the first person to
take on that role and started in January 2021, when President Biden
first went into office.

He told White House colleagues a few weeks ago about his planned
departure, and a search is underway to fill the role, the official
said. Leach played a major role in making sure the Biden
administration, which is the most diverse administration in U.S.
history, reflects the diversity of America, the office added.

Leach told The Associated Press in an interview that he will reflect
on how to increase equity across institutions before taking on his
next role.

Before the White House, Leach was chief people officer and head of
diversity and inclusion for Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign.
Before that, he worked in labor relations with the National Football
League for more than five years and was an assistant to the head
coach for the Chicago Bears for three years.

The Biden administration has been focused on increasing diversity
and inclusion across the federal government, and Biden, on his first
day in office, signed an executive order to advance racial equity in
government. He also signed an executive order in February 2023
directing agencies to continue to promote equity.
