Trans Awareness Week: programming for ERGs services for ERGs.
Trans Awareness Week builds toward TDOR on the 20th. Education-focused — partner with trans facilitators and create space for trans colleagues to gather.

More than a calendar moment.
Trans Awareness Week falls in the seven days leading up to Trans Day of Remembrance on November 20, and the framing is deliberate: education first, mourning at the end. GLAAD and the National Center for Transgender Equality (NCTE) both publish curricula specifically for this week, designed to walk colleagues through trans-inclusive language, policy, and history without putting trans employees themselves on a panel.
The strongest weeks pair company-wide education with a smaller, members-only gathering for trans and non-binary colleagues. The education side belongs to paid trans facilitators — not internal trans employees doing free labor — so the people the week is supposedly for aren't the ones carrying it. The members-only side is what actually builds community: a closed space to connect, decompress, and decide together what they want the week to feel like.
The Trans Awareness Week pitfalls.
What sinks Trans Awareness Week programming isn't usually a missing speaker — it's a misread of the moment. The three misses worth naming out loud.
Mixing the tone with TDOR.
Awareness Week is education. TDOR is mourning. Plan them as two distinct moments.
Trans 101 with no trans facilitator.
If a cis facilitator runs trans education, your trans employees will notice. Hire trans facilitators.
No space for trans members themselves.
If every event is performed for the broader company, trans colleagues never get to gather as a group. Hold a members-only space alongside the public programming.
