LinkedIn Groups by Affinity Community
If you are interested in expanding your network, consider joining a LinkedIn group! LinkedIn groups provide spaces for professionals with similar interests/backgrounds to share experiences, provide guidance, and build meaningful connections. Only members of groups are allowed to post, view, and comment on posts within the group. Another benefit of joining a group is that you will have direct access to send messages to any group members. Joining LinkedIn groups that are related to your identities will allow you to learn from others but also add value to the discussions.
