The Why? As someone who leads more than 2,400 employees across sales, operations, HR, recruiting and facilities management, Bowens’ impact stretches far and wide. Outside Charter, she’s a leader in Harvard Business School’s Recover & Rebuild Initiative, which provides consulting services to help local businesses in the New York metro area build and grow. Her work as one of the founding members of the CTAM Business Services Council earned her the pedigree to write two case studies on the topics of development and inclusion.

She Says… “An ERG must be supported by an executive sponsor who is engaged with and empowers the organization to think creatively about how to recruit and elevate diverse talent and to promote inclusivity.”

What makes for a successful Employee Resource Group? An ERG must be supported by an executive sponsor who is engaged with and empowers the organization to think creatively about how to recruit and elevate diverse talent and to promote inclusivity.
