Corporate Diversity Council
	Formed in March 2002 by a charter from Ameren senior management, the Ameren Corporate Diversity Council works to insure that diversity is applied at Ameren within the framework of the corporate mission, vision and values. In 2007, the Ameren Corporate Diversity Council began the “Quest for the Best” initiative with the purpose to insure that Ameren is nationally recognized as an inclusive organization and makes each employee accountable for diversity success. A three-year strategic plan was designed to insure success and was revised in 2008.
