Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) at Broward College

Broward College Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are peer groups whose members have common interests. They are voluntary, member-led, and meet in high-trust, open environments. ERGs strengthen the connection of employees to Broward College by allowing individuals the opportunity to contribute to the mission of the institution by fostering and supporting employee interests.
