EMPLOYEE RESOURCE GROUP
OUT Syracuse has launched a citywide LGBTQ Employee Resource Group. It is open to all LGBTQ employees of businesses and organizations in the Syracuse area that do not have their own ERG.
LGBTQ ERG members are encouraged to ask their companies to sponsor their professional membership for year-long opportunities. The membership includes six online professional development training modules, three in-person social opportunities, two community service projects and meet your mentor online session in January.
Business leaders should consider offering this opportunity for your LGBTQ team members as a professional development plan.
