Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are more than just business and networking spaces — they are vital sources of community care, support, and empowerment. In this session, we’ll revisit the foundational purpose of ERGs, exploring how they foster belonging, well-being, and advocacy within organizations. Participants will gain actionable strategies to center care in ERG initiatives, ensuring these groups remain a powerful force for connection and inclusion amidst a quickly changing socio-political climate. Whether you’re new to ERGs or looking to revitalize your group’s impact, this session will provide the tools to reinforce community-driven support in your workplace.
