Date

Thursday, March 28

Time

2:00 PM - 3:00 PM ET

Affinity groups and Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are critical to building a culture of inclusivity and diversity within organizations. It has been demonstrated that the existence of these groups boosts feelings of inclusion and community for employees from marginalized communities and improves attraction and retention of diverse talent. Join Green 2.0 for a conversation with affinity group and ERG leaders about the importance of these groups and how organizational leadership can support them.

In 2023, conservative activists seeking to reverse progress that makes our society more equitable, launched an attack on diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice (DEIJ). As we enter 2024, organizations and DEIJ leaders are working diligently to protect this critical work and evaluate how to continue to defend equity and justice for all. Join Green 2.0 for a conversation with leaders working on equity to discuss expectations for 2024 and how we can strengthen our commitment to equity and justice in the face of these challenges.

From leading conservation projects that protect their ancestral territories to advocating for sustainable practices and environmental justice, Indigenous women have long been at the forefront of shaping the environmental movement. However, recognition of their leadership and their representation in decision-making roles within environmental organizations is lacking. Join Green 2.0 for a conversation with Indigenous women who are leading sustainability and environmental justice efforts in their communities for a discussion on creating practices and policies that allow Indigenous women to thrive.
