Action Step – Framework for Affinity Group Meetings
The Alliance’s Action Steps are designed to assist organizations with implementing practical strategies and policies related to diversity and flexibility. Members can access full versions of all of the Alliance’s Action Steps in the Member Resource Center.
Effectively running affinity group meetings presents a valuable opportunity to enhance member engagement and drive meaningful impact, especially in today’s hybrid environments. A well-designed meeting framework can help affinity group leaders maximize this opportunity, fostering deeper connections, facilitating learning, and spurring action. By implementing the following 5-part structure, you can create more purposeful and effective affinity group meetings that align with your group’s mission and goals while providing an engaging experience for all participants.
- Celebrate and Connect (10-15 minutes):
- Begin with shout-outs for member accomplishments, both personal and professional.
- Use a “choreographed connection” question to align with the meeting’s purpose or foster personal connections.
