Our Approach! Met with a majority of the UL exec team to educate them on D&I! We transitioned from WILN to WILBRG! The importance of D&I to the business! BRGs and employee engagement! Case studies of BRGs within other organization! What our customers are doing in D&I! Businesses want to do business with companies that value the same thing! Connect with our customers on another level
! Personal Invitation to the summit! Overall, we received nothing but support from our leadership team

Organization’s Y’s LGBTQ ERG membership is stagnant. There have been no new members in the past year, even though there has been a concerted effort to recruit LGBTQ employees. ERG leadership wants to
increase membership and engagement. What are some recommended steps to address these challenges?
#EmERGeLeadership
Organization X’s Asian ERG members are frustrated because the organization only draws awareness to their group during Asian Pacific American Heritage Month and
Chinese New Year. They would like to have more consistent exposure throughout the year in order for their members to have visibility with leaders and professional development
opportunities aligned with the business imperatives.
#EmERGeLeadership
The influential and vocal executive sponsor of Organization Z’s Women’s ERG recently retired. The new executive
sponsor’s commitment is not strong, and the ERG’s brand is suffering internally.
#EmERGeLeadership
Organization A’s LatinX ERG recently held a backpack giveaway in partnership with a community
organization. During the call for volunteers, a non-member who presented as a white male was discouraged from
participating in the giveaway as a volunteer because “the initiative was developed so the kids can see themselves in
us”. The non-member volunteer is a Latino who was considering membership.
