2025 Southern States Forum: Charlotte Building Belonging in the South: Together Forward

June 16 @ 2:00 pm – 7:00 pm America/North Carolina
As part of an expanded lineup of regional impact programs, Out & Equal’s 2025 Southern States Forum series begins in Charlotte. Southern States Forum programs build on our commitment to creating workplaces of true belonging for LGBTQ+ employees across the Southern United States.
In today’s challenging environment, where policy efforts and rhetoric targeting the LGBTQ+ community continue to intensify, our Southern States Forum provides an essential space for:
- Connecting ERG/BRG leaders and inclusion practitioners
- Sharing region-specific strategies for workplace belonging
- Building resilient professional, executive, and ally networks
Join fellow change-makers from across the South as together we navigate the unique challenges and opportunities of advancing LGBTQ+ workplace inclusion.
Our Charlotte event will feature tailored learning exercises, networking opportunities, and expert-led sessions designed specifically for the challenges being faced in region today.
Together, forward, now – we continue building the Business of Belonging across the South.
