Data is powerful only when it drives informed decisions and lasting change. In this session, ELA’s metrics expert, Racheal Walker, and Community Experience Manager and Impact Advisory Mentor, Kristy McHugh, will demonstrate how to turn ERG data into actionable insights that shape business strategy. This lab draws on findings from the ELA Success Metrics, Business Impact Study, and other alliance research, including the ERG Blueprints and Oversight Excellence Rubric. Learn how to craft narratives that align with strategic business drivers and engage the right audiences to communicate measurable impact.

How to Easily and Significantly Boost Your ERG's Effectiveness with Intersectionality

Matt Jenkins, founder of Dream & Leap, will bring real-world examples of ERG intersectional programming and their measurable impact on allyship, inclusion and belonging throughout an organization.

Inclusive ERG Leaders Do These Simple Things

"No matter what Employee Resource Group (ERG) you lead, your members bring diverse, intersectional identities that may include neurodivergence, disability, introversion, or other unique perspectives. As a leader, fostering an inclusive and accessible environment is essential to supporting their success. Join Kelly Redden, Owner of LogiK Evolution and an expert in inclusion, to gain valuable insights on how to identify and implement effective accommodations that enhance engagement and well-being for all members."
