Did you know ACS has an African American/Black EEG anyone can join? The group works to engage the AAB community in our mission, income, advocacy and volunteer activities; to promote employment opportunities among AAB staff and external partners; and to provide a mechanism to share information, best practices and resources. Learn more on their Yammer Group.
This year’s ACS Black History Month theme is Homecoming: Honoring our past, embracing our present, looking to the future. There will be activities for engagement all month, more details will be featured in the Black History Month article on Society Source 2/1, but staff will be encouraged to share pictures and stories the first week, second week will be "spirit week" with special challenges, an EEG call open to all staff with distinguished volunteer leaders on Thursday 2/11, and a watch party on Friday 2/12 (participating in the week will be a "challenge" on Virgin Pulse and staff can get points), the next week trivia/quizzes will be shared, and the last week there will be a dance class led by an instructor from Detroit which will also be tied to Virgin Pulse points.
