Ready to share B/ERG best practices and connect with colleagues from across the region?  Then make your plans to join us for the January LGBTQ+ B/ERG Leadership Roundtable. As part of the Chamber’s LGBTQ+ Workplace Alliance program, these B/ERG Leadership Roundtables are an opportunity for officers or those in leadership roles to Connect, Network, Share, & Learn – all important Spheres of Impact for our program. 

January’s program will feature two exciting portions:

  • Presentation by NRG’s One Space - Empowerment Through Diversity: Focus on how a diverse workforce brings innovative solutions to the challenges the power industry faces, such as sustainability, customer experience, and modernization of decision-making. 

  • Mario Harper (he/him), Lead, U.S. Business Action to End HIV. Mario will share an update on the Chamber’s joint initiative with Health Action Alliance to address HIV/AIDS in the Greater Houston area through a business lens and our upcoming February 12th meeting of the Houston Business Action to End HIV chapter.   

We will also have an open discussion opportunity to share best practices and ask questions for peer-to-peer engagement. Bring your questions and ideas to share.
