Transform: become the erg your ceo needs

Presented Wednesday, October 15, 2025

Let’s face it, it isn’t 2020 anymore! A rollercoaster economy. Political roadblocks. Escalating culture wars. Technology disruption. An anxious workforce. This is the new reality that we are navigating - and your CEO needs you to be an internal partner who understands the stakes. The role of employee groups must evolve—not just to support their members, but to support and sustain the business.

Now is the time for ERG leaders to reposition their work in service of broader organizational imperatives like risk mitigation, talent retention, innovation, and brand reputation. This session is designed for those ready to stop thinking of ERGs as internal clubs and start treating them as strategic resources—a form of “air cover” for senior leadership, and a trusted voice on the external flashpoints shaping business decisions. Participants will explore how to reframe their priorities, understand, align with, and anticipate executive needs, and embed their programs into enterprise conversations. Along the way, you’ll develop your leadership presence, hone your business acumen, and expand your organizational awareness to stay relevant and influential in a rapidly shifting landscape.

This isn’t about abandoning your values—it’s about making sure they’re positioned to be heard and acted on, at the level where decisions are made. Click below to download all of the program resouces:
