Description

LGBTQ+ B/ERG Leadership Roundtable!

📆 Thursday, May 14, 2026
🕐 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM
📍 Sesh Coworking | 2808 Caroline St., #100, Houston, TX 77004

Join us afterward for lunch at Chamber member Weights + Measures next door.


If your company is an active Chamber Impact Partner and you lead LGBTQ+ inclusion efforts at your company, join your fellow LGBTQ+ and Ally BRG, ERG, and Affinity Group leaders for this special May LGBTQ+ B/ERG Leadership Roundtable.



Roundtable Topic: 

Thinking Strategically for B/ERG Success in Challenging Economic Environments

From tariffs to conflicts to government shutdowns, there are various factors outside your control that are impacting your companies and could impact staffing and budgets in the long term. How can B/ERG leaders think strategically as individuals and as a team, about their groups’ budgets, annual plans, and company-wide inclusion efforts to ensure they are rising to meet the challenging economic environments while also preparing for any uncertainty ahead.

Part 1: Special Guest Speaker to be announced soon!

Part 2: “Maximizing your Chamber Membership” - In our second session, Ryan Wilson, Director of Corporate Relations, will outline the benefits of membership in the Greater Houston LGBTQ+ Chamber of Commerce that many companies overlook and will guide you on ways to work those resources and events into your B/ERG calendars and programming.

Part 3: “Maximizing your Network” - In our final session, we will have a forum for open discussion to ask your peers at other companies how they are navigating challenges and share best practices for LGBTQ+ inclusion efforts in the region. 

Virtual access is available. In-person attendance is encouraged for those in the Greater Houston area.


 

In-person registration closes at 12 PM CT on Wednesday, May 13th.
Virtual registration closes at 9 AM CT on Thursday, May 14th.



Thank You to Our Host!


Following the Roundtable, continue the conversations around the lunch table at Chamber member Weights + Measures, right next door. Each guest will be responsible for their own meal. Be sure to ask for the Sesh discount when you get your check.
