June is Pride Month. June is when we honor Juneteenth.
This makes it a powerful time to reflect on freedom, inclusion, and belonging—and how those values show up in the workplace.
One meaningful way to engage is to get involved with a Special Interest Group (SIG) in a corporation or industry association.
SIG's can be great for your career.
✅ Meet people across departments and leadership levels
✅ Gain visibility beyond your role
✅ Build community and create impact
Common SIGs include:
- Racial and ethnic groups
- LGBTQ+ Communities
- Women in the Workplace
- Disability Advocacy (ADA)
- Veterans & Military Families
- Mental Health & Wellbeing
- Neurodiversity
- Young Professionals & Multigenerational Networks
What groups have helped you feel seen and supported at work?
