Raising LGBTQ+ Voices in the ORS Community 

Join us for our virtual panel discussion and networking event designed to elevate the visibility of the Pride @ ORS Community Network and our LGBTQ+ ORS members, with a special focus on those in senior positions. During this session, we explore common challenges faced by our community, discuss how the network can help overcome these obstacles, and strategize on increasing visibility and representation within the ORS. This session also creates a platform for our trans and non-binary members to share their unique experiences and insights.

Community Networks give ORS members of all different backgrounds, career levels, and experiences a way to connect with each other. Community Networks are self-identified, organically established communities offering opportunities for members to connect with each other, share experiences, and form life-long friendships and collaborations.
