What is an IRG?

Inclusion Resource Groups (IRG) are employee-led groups formed around shared beliefs, backgrounds and interests. IRGs help to create a sense of belonging, especially for those in historically marginalized groups. They offer a space where people can connect with colleagues, learn and grow professionally and personally, be an active voice for change, give back to the community, and more.

How do you join an IRG?
