ERGs: Call To Action
Event Details
In honor of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month (APAHM), NAAAP-LA has partnered with the Asian ERGs of Accenture, Airbnb, Salesforce and SoCal Edison, to host its first ERG panel event of 2020. Be inspired from an impressive panel of leaders who will be sharing how their ERG is engaging in the community and driving positive change.
What's an ERG?:
Throughout many Fortune 500 companies, employees come together as a formal group based on an affinity; whether it be ethnicity, sexual orientation, military status, etc. These affinity groups are known as Employee Resource Groups (ERGs). They serve as a representative "voice" for the employees and generally are considered the "face" of an organization when interfaced with the community. (Fun Fact: NAAAP-LA was founded by members of an ERG at Raytheon and Lockheed Martin).
