For companies looking to advance gender equality, employee resource groups (ERGs) can be a natural and important step in the process. Yet while many organizations have these groups, in order to have a true impact, they must define and set goals for themselves and the business.

That’s why Fairygodboss convenes each year at our event GALVANIZE: Making Women’s Resource Groups Powerful. GALVANIZE brings together 200+ executives and ERG leaders from across the country to help identify actionable ways in which we can address the most pressing needs of women in the workplace. This year, our event will take place October 15-16 in New York City at the AppNexus headquarters, in Flatiron.

"The event exceeded all my expectations,” said one woman who attended last year’s event. “I came in wondering if I would get anything out of it and came away with so much information I'm re-working my Women's ERG plan!"
