AICPA & CIMA ENGAGE Session: LGBTQ+ Belonging: Building a Supportive and Impactful LGBTQ+ ERG/BRG at Your Organization
Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are employee-led groups within an organization that are formed around a shared characteristic, identity, or interest. These groups are typically established to support and advocate for specific communities within the workforce. In this session, we will focus specifically on how to build and maintain an ERG that fosters LGBTQ+ inclusion and belonging.

An LGBTQ+ Employee Resource Group (ERG) serves many purposes. It can function as a springboard for conversations around career advancement and inclusion in the profession as a whole. Most importantly, it provides support for LGBTQ+ employees by fostering a sense of community and understanding within the workplace. Through education and advocacy, an ERG can help allies and others learn about LGBTQ+ issues and encourages them to actively support their LGBTQ+ coworkers, family members, and friends and demonstrates commitment to creating an environment where employees feel comfortable bringing their authentic selves to work.
In this session, members of the AICPA’s LGBTQ+ Initiatives Volunteer Committee, Kinman Tong and Jennifer Harrity alongside AICPA’s director of Diversity & Inclusion, Crystal Cooke, share valuable information about how to build and maintain an LGBTQ+ ERG at your organization.
