My firm has a LGBT group at the national level but at the office/region, a LGBT group is formed on a case by case basis. Before I joined last year, an ally started the group... by first, arranging...

I think it would be great to start with a pride month event and do a general overview of what lgbt means. If you do a no judgment ask me anything kind of deal that might be a good place to start as well as figure out what would benefit your office the most.

The office AIDS walk. Since then, I have been a main contributor to the group because I identified that the group didn’t have an initiative. Is our goal to fundraiser? Reach out to the LGBT community about consulting life? Spread and inform the office on LGBT issues? My suggestion was the last one

So... my question is... I’m not the MOST experienced with current LGBT issues nor do I want to cross HR boundaries. Anyone have any ideas?

I think the point of these groups is to show that we’re all just people. Educating others on the fact that we’re not all that different would be a great place to start.

It’s about networking. Get the straight partners to take your group to happy hours

Sorry - seeing this now. In many cases we lead workshops with clients / targets on establishing ERG (employee resource groups) and the value behind. Find a way to align with what your ally partners want / need and use that to win business.

Deloitte - no gay partners? Sad!
