Inclusively flexible for all time zones and changes in leadership


  • ELA membership is not required: ERG University classes are open to all ERG leaders, executive sponsors, oversight program managers and DEI or HR professionals who are eager to learn and grow. ELA organization memberships include seats.

  • Global Accessibility:  We understand the importance of accommodating diverse time zones. That’s why most of our classes are offered in two convenient time slots — and some are also available in Spanish — ensuring accessibility for leaders worldwide.

  • Flexible Registration: We understand that plans can change. That's why registration with us is fully changeable and refundable up to 30 days prior to the session date. Plus, even if you can't make it, you can transfer your ticket to someone else at any time.

Educationally designed for efficient, effective learning


  • ERG Leader Blueprint Intensives: Dive deep into the heart of leadership with our ERG Leader Blueprint Intensives. These one-hour classes with optional 30-minute Q&As are packed with practical insights and actionable strategies to drive meaningful change within your organization. Register for individual Blueprint classes or the complete set of 6. 

  • Executive Sponsors Want to Help But Don’t Know How: Executive Sponsors make or break the success of ERGs but most often fail because they simply don’t know what they are supposed to do – or how. Help them so they can help their groups by providing them with the knowledge and personal gameplan. 

  • Oversight Program Managers Need to Show Results But Lack the Tools: Oversight Managers are tasked with ensuring ERGs deliver impact, yet many struggle to measure success or tie initiatives to business priorities. Our new 4-part class delivers the approach, skills, and data-driven approach they need to evaluate ERG performance, prove value, and guide strategy.

Immediately applicable to ERG and all other work – and life!


  • Immediately Applicable Professional Development: Not only are the ERG-specific classes applicable to any leadership role, we offer classes including “Coaching Skills for Leaders” which is a powerful way to upskill both professionally and personally. Very well accredited and hands-on, this brain-science based course is always top rated for the content, engagement and applicability. No coaching experience needed.
