“I love participating with the PRIDE BRG. It's an engaged, dynamic group of almost 400 people. I also love to turn on the digital hub on my computer and see what's going on with any of the Business Resource Groups. It's really neat to be able to support other BRGs and see others support PRIDE. Every time I go to a different BRG event, I always feel welcome, even if I'm not part of that group.”
