A forum to raise awareness, share professional insights, acquire information, and provide leadership.
The African-American Advancement Group (AAAG) exists to provide a forum where employees and guests can promote awareness of the Black, African, African-American and Caribbean cultures, share professional insights, acquire information and provide leadership on their careers and work environment within Brookhaven National Laboratory. We aspire to increase the presence and leadership ability of our community by building strong strategic alliances with laboratory management and facilitating the hiring, retention, education, mentorship and career advancement of African-American talent at all levels, thereby assisting the Lab to achieve its diversity goals.
Committees
It takes a village! We depend on you, the AAAG members, to help carry out AAAG’s plans and promote the enhancement of African Americans all over the Lab — from career development to social support. We need more members to take part. There are multiple committees within the AAAG that are looking for great ideas and helpful hands. Committees include:
- Finance
- Membership
- Outreach & Public Affairs
- Recruitment & Retention Resource
- AAAG STEM Scholarship
- Black History Month
- Nominating
- Constitution & Bylaws Review
