Our general definition for an Advocate is someone invested and willing to use their position/status to advance the profession/cause of another. These individuals are willing to lobby to get the other person a seat at the table.

The Mosaic Difference
The purpose of this affinity group is to leverage and strengthen the Inforum network by bringing together all hues of Women of Color, advocates, and allies to engage in courageous conversations that inspire personal and professional excellence and success. We encourage authentic relationships and desire to create a space for collaboration to accelerate strategic connections and professional and business growth for Women of Color. We don’t want time and proximity to be an issue; hence why a virtual meeting is an opportunity to engage Inforum members on the westside of Michigan, as well as the SE Michigan region.
