Having started a women's ERG at my company a couple of years ago... would have loved to have had this article then. We found similar advice that we used, but nothing as thorough in one spot. Awesome resource Fairygodboss!

I am more than happy to meet and share some ideas as well. I started an ERG on Generational diversity and then was Co-leader of a global ERG on the same topic. We met with the leaders of all of the other ERGs. Please let me know if you want to chat.
