The text discusses the selection process for the Equal Employment Opportunity Officer at the Oklahoma City Area Indian Health Service headquarters. The Advisory Board believes the EEO Officer should be aligned with the employees and not with management. They requested a meeting with the Director of Indian Health Service to discuss the issue and recommended an applicant based on merit and qualifications. The Acting Area Director initially agreed to appoint the recommended applicant but later chose a different applicant. The Board protested this decision and sought support from various officials.
