Employees who are interested in starting an Enterprise ERG should review the guidelines and submit a detailed and completed application. The completed application should be sent to the Enterprise Engagement and Retention Specialist at MMB for further review. Final approval will be granted by the Deputy Commissioner for Enterprise Employee Resources or designee. Once approved, MMB will notify the proposed chair/co-chairs of the group. Please allow a minimum of four weeks for review and approval once submitted.

Step One: Check your group's eligibility

No. Employees do not need prior approval from the proposed Executive Sponsor or Champion to submit the proposal. Employees are encouraged to list the name of the person who (at the Executive Sponsor and Champion level) they would consider to be the group's sponsors. Employees will receive guidance on next steps if the application is approved.

Employees are encouraged to contact Minnesota Management and Budget to discuss whether or not the proposed Enterprise ERG meets the requirements to be considered an Enterprise ERG.
