Members of the executive leadership team also play important roles in employee initiatives at U. S. Steel, serving as executive sponsors for our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs).
Our ERGs involve employees throughout the organization and offer opportunities for sharing experiences, strategies and success. Collectively, our ERGs drive awareness, strengthen employee engagement, and create internal and external connections, including through charitable outreach. Our current ERGs are below.
“Being part of LEAD allows me to contribute to a culture where every perspective is valued, and where different backgrounds are celebrated. It’s about creating opportunities for discussion, breaking barriers, and ensuring continuous learning that helps us grow both individually and as an organization.”
– Elizabeth Ramous, Vice President of LEAD
“I wanted to become President of NextGen Steel because I wanted to cultivate a group where everyone feels seen, valued and empowered to bring their full selves to work, and to empower our early career professionals to lead and inspire the next generation to do the same. This ERG represents more than just a community; it’s a catalyst for growth, understanding and change. Being part of NextGen Steel has shown me the power of collective voices, and I’m passionate about leading initiatives that inspire connection and foster a Culture of Caring.”
– Lauren Roberts, NextGen Steel President
“I wanted to be Co-chair of SteelPARENTS because working and parenting are two fulltime jobs, and all parents will tell you that raising kids takes a village. What better village to lean on than their U. S. Steel family? I was excited to find ways through SteelPARENTS to network, support and educate our membership. Our event on Technology and Social Media’s Impact on Children with Nicole Runyon was particularly impactful to the over 100 attendees in our company, given the evergrowing presence and influence of technology on kids of all ages, even starting from birth.”
– Tiffany Demos, SteelPARENTS Co-chair
“Together with my colleagues Becky Bloom, Malisa Dunn and Amanda Malkowski, we founded SteelPRIDE in February 2020. I have held various roles within our ERG, including Treasurer, Secretary, Vice President and President. SteelPRIDE serves as a safe space where members can express their identities, share knowledge, and foster an environment of trust and open, honest communication. Being part of SteelPRIDE has made me a better leader, a more supportive ally and a more understanding parent to my daughter, who is a member of the LGBTQ+ community.”
– Brenda Petrilena, SteelPRIDE President
“I wanted to be President of WIN because I wanted to do what our slogan says — ’Empower. Inspire. Lead.’ Being a part of the ERGs enables every one of us to fuel what inspires us. As ERGs, we fill the spaces between the departments within our organization, so our reach is far, and we can use it to connect and make meaningful impacts both internally and externally.”
– Mindy Buccicone, WIN President
“The employee resource groups hold a special place in my heart because they help connect our employees with our Culture of Caring despite working at different facilities or working remotely. I have connected with so many different, amazing people through the ERGs who I may not have met without them. I knew I wanted to be President of SteelSUSTAINABILITY because I love its mission to educate employees on what sustainability is and how each employee can get involved to make our company more sustainable. My favorite thing about the ERG is how much involvement we have had with our members across the organization and at all levels. It just goes to show how interested people are about this important topic and how willing they are to help out.”

SteelSUSTAINABILITY President
