Business Resource Groups Book Club
Our Goal
ICSEW is excited to reboot the Book Club in partnership with our Business Resource Groups (BRG)! We aim to create a vibrant and engaging reading experience, featuring a rotating selection of books curated by each BRG. These selections will highlight the unique perspectives and experiences of specific demographic groups, while also exploring themes of leadership, empowerment, and personal growth. Past Book Club selections include impactful works such as So You Want To Talk About Race by Ijeoma Oluo, Caste by Isabel Wilkerson, and Yellowface by R.F. Kuang.
What We Do
The Book Club operates as a dedicated committee under the ICSEW Engagement Subcommittee. We have developed comprehensive policies, procedures, facilitator training, and resources to ensure a successful and enriching experience for all participants. We coordinate with the BRGs to select books and discussion questions to provide engaging content. The Book Club is hosted by ICSEW over Zoom and has a dedicated Microsoft Teams Channel for book club members, discussion facilitators, and subcommittee members.
Activities Include:
- Develop and maintain Book Club policies and procedures that are aligned with ICSEW's overall mission and values.
- Develop comprehensive training for discussion facilitators, covering techniques for fostering inclusive and productive conversations.
- Collaborate with BRGs to select diverse and relevant books that reflect their communities and interests.
- Ensure a smooth transition between BRG hosts and maintain continuity throughout the program.
