Connect ERG
CONNECT represents a regional alliance of Employee Resource Groups (ERG) within companies and organizations committed to fostering diverse talent in the area by attracting, nurturing, and retaining professionals from varied backgrounds.
Strengthening Connections: How Connect ERG is Empowering Businesses
The Cincinnati Regional Chamber, one of the oldest and largest chambers of commerce in the country, is known for best-in-class programs and events—from leadership and learning programs to monthly networking, and quarterly ERG Connect events. Through its collaboration with the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, the Regional Chamber is creating even more opportunities for businesses to expand their networks and foster workplaces where everyone belongs.
Connect ERG plays a key role in this partnership, helping companies leverage Employee Resource Groups to make meaningful workplace change. Connect ERG has strengthened its own learning and best practices through these collaborations, sharing insights with other Hispanic ERGs to amplify impact across the community. At the quarterly ERG Connect events, participants can:
- Hear from experienced presenters on ERG-related topics
- Meet leaders across Cincinnati’s business community
- Build new connections with companies they haven’t worked with before
- Engage proactively with ERG practitioners in both for-profit and non-profit organizations
Â
In short, this collaboration is all about learning, connecting, and growing. By bringing businesses together and supporting a culture where everyone belongs, the Cincinnati Regional Chamber, the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, and Connect ERG are helping companies succeed while creating stronger, more inclusive workplaces.

What past participants had to say...
CINC is great for making social connections and hearing about others’ work experiences. Events like this are such a benefit.
Nitish Baidya
I really enjoyed this event! It was great talking with other interns my age, making connections, and learning from people in the field.
Pippie Oldendick
CINC is great for networking—especially if you’re new to the area and don’t know anyone. The Kick-off event was a perfect icebreaker.
Blake Burrets
My favorite part of CINC would have to be making new connections, and hearing everyone’s stories and career goals. I also loved being able to reconnect with the city I call home. It opened up the door to new experiences, hidden gems, and a whole community of people who want to help you succeed.
Alexis Scholler
Both the intern events were amazing experiences and I’m glad I got to network with so many interns from across the city. Soccer especially has been a long time passion of mine so I was especially excited to get the opportunity to watch a FC Cincy game live!
Shaan Patel
I had an amazing time at both CINC events and I was able to network with a lot of people. Thank you and the rest of the CINC team for hosting these events. They have really made my summer even more memorable.
