Our org wideERG Program Survey closed Friday and I’ve received some invaluable insights on theorganizations understanding and perception of our ERG Program as well.

Maceo is a trailblazer in the world of ERGs, her passion translates into a sincere approach inhelping people operationalize how transform their ERG programs. She is knowledgable aboutall things spreadsheets, boosting engagement, and best practices for relaunch. She helped meorganize member lists with all of the patience in the world and generously offered her time whenI lacked the technical background. She's a force to be reckoned with!

Maceo Owens walks the walk!

I was first acknowledged of Maceo when I did an Employee Experience panel and one of theother guests mentioned that he was ramping up his companies ERG with the guidance ofMaceo, aka 'The ERG Homegirl'! Intrigued by the name I checked out here LinkedIn profile andnot only saw SO many resources provided on her page but a welcoming, Open To Helpingbanner around her profile image. I almost never get a response when I reach out to someonewho says they are open to help but I took a chance and she responded so quickly. We set up ameeting for the following week and I was blown away by our interaction!Maceo was extremely welcoming and authentic right at the bat! I felt comfortable expressing toher my lack of experience in certain ERG areas, the pain points, my goals, etc. From ourcommunication she was able to assess what was needed for my ERG's success, tangible waysto start the process, and metrics to note for ongoing reviews. I left the meeting with a clear plan,renewed excitement for relaunching my ERG's and an admiration for all things Maceo. Sheevent went above and beyond with following up with some resources on items we haddiscussed!She hasnt stopped helping there either, I just watched her video, Ep #9 | The 4 Key Roles ERGExecutive Sponsors Play, and The Fortune 500 ERG Report: Shedding Light on ERGEcosystem and got so many gems from these that I am also implementing into our ERGprogram to keep improving!Thank you Maceo for your passion, authenticity, and big moves to making ERG's across theboard as impactful as possible!!!

Maceo Owens knows how to build effective ERG spaces. ERG spaces have been the lifeline tomy career progression. Having dedicated spaces to ask and answer questions that addressaspects of my intersectionality have been essential to my professional development. Myinvolvement in these spaces has also expanded my understanding of how co-workers show upto work. Work is not one size fits all. Most companies know and embrace this concept. However,a gap still exists between awareness and effective applications for how all employees canthrive. In just a few minutes of speaking to Maceo you will learn how to build meaningfulconnections between employee experiences, and business needs. Equal parts science and art,Maceo's ERG Movement strategies are good for business.

Maceo was fantastic. My organization had Maceo as a speaker in 2 capacities: One for an opendiscussion around Fostering Effective Allyship and a smaller session for our ERG leadsregarding boosting Engagement. She brings a wealth of knowledge to the table and allowed forpeople to press into why they are in an ERG, what it looks like to be an active ally, and how togrow an already thriving ERG community. Thank you, Maceo!

Maceo has always been open to sharing best practices, talk about her experienceas an ERG leader and connect individually with others.While launching ERGs at my organization, Maceo provided one-on-one time to provide thoughtpartnership and help talk out loud about my ideas, as well as what she has seen work and why.Maceo is a selfless individual looking to give back to the ERG community at no cost.

Maceo was outstanding! Her presentation was engaging and interactive, well suited for ourvirtual environment. Although we have had ERGs in my agency for some time now, Maceo wasable to bring up new ideas and ERG concepts we just hadn't thought of. She deserves all thekudos she receives. Thanks ERG Homegirl!

Huge thank you to Maceo for speaking with our 50+ ERG leaders! She provided insightfulinformation about the importance and power of data to demonstrate the impact of employeeresource groups. Using her dynamic storytelling approach, she left our ERG leaders feelingmotivated and inspired. She shared wonderful resources and we are thrilled to join the ERGMovement to connect with others who believe in the power of employee resource groups.

As a Lead of a newly launched ERG within an organization that needed to restructure and as aresult lose their Chief Diversity Office/my internal mentor, Maceo became a lifesaver. The ERGMovement platform continues to fuel our progress forward and strategy to measure success. Ibelieve the ERG Movement provides a growth journey that every single organization can benefitfrom.

Maceo Owens is an angel! I had questions about ERG roles and structures and what was best for an organization of my size.

She scheduled time with me to listen to my concerns and helped me find a path forward that makes sense.

She also shared several helpful resources that will save me countless hours of work while at the same time, helping me set up an ERG strategy for lasting success.

Her expertise and knowledge in preparing for, creating, and sustaining ERGs - and navigatingthe roadblocks that may come up along the way - is absolutely invaluable.

If you have any questions about ERGs, Maceo Owens has the answers.

Thank you so much for all you do!!
