The past year has been a significant one for African Ancestry in Biotechnology, our first employee resource group - which we affectionately refer to internally as DNA (Diversity Network Association) Groups.<\/a> Last fall, the group celebrated its 30-year anniversary, and in February, it celebrated an update to the group\u2019s name. (The AAIB acronym formerly stood for African Americans in Biotechnology.)<\/p>\r\n

The change came about in response to a desire to have AAIB, which is open to all employees, better reflect the population at Genentech, according to AAIB leaders.<\/p>\r\n

\u201cBefore going through the change, we polled our members, and there was overwhelming support,\u201d said Tammy Butler, senior case manager, Access Solutions Patient Support Program - Respiratory, Commercial, Medical & Government Affairs (CMG), and co-chair of AAIB in South San Francisco. Tammy noted that the group\u2019s acronym and mission to provide support and visibility for Genentech employees remains the same.<\/p>\r\n

It\u2019s no small feat for any organization to endure for more than three decades while remaining open and adaptable to change. So ahead of Juneteenth \u2013 a holiday which marks a new era for Black Americans in this country \u2013 we sat down with Gail Tennyson Hicks, associate manager, Data & Content, Product Development Regulatory. Gail, who co-founded AAIB in 1993, shared insights into the growth of AAIB and other DNA Groups at our company, and offered advice for anyone else seeking to make a change in support of their communities. (She\u2019s pictured, center, at AAIB\u2019s 30th anniversary celebration in the image at the top of this story.)<\/p>","created_at":"2024-06-17 01:21:46","updated_at":"2025-03-27 09:00:26","type":"text","sort_order":0,"products":[]},{"id":"4449dfd8-2c83-11ef-9f1c-0242c0a87007","alignment":"right-align","caption":"AAIB\u2019s original Executive Committee.","created_at":"2024-06-17 01:26:16","updated_at":"2025-03-27 09:00:26","url":null,"_blank":0,"type":"image","sort_order":1,"images":{"src_sm":"\/assets\/content\/block_image\/inline_image\/generated_AAIB%2BExecutive%2BCommittee%2B1999-small.jpg","src_md":"\/assets\/content\/block_image\/inline_image\/generated_AAIB%2BExecutive%2BCommittee%2B1999-medium.jpg","src_lg":"\/assets\/content\/block_image\/inline_image\/generated_AAIB%2BExecutive%2BCommittee%2B1999-large.jpg","src_retina_sm":"\/assets\/content\/block_image\/inline_image\/generated_AAIB%2BExecutive%2BCommittee%2B1999-small%402x.jpg","src_retina_md":"\/assets\/content\/block_image\/inline_image\/generated_AAIB%2BExecutive%2BCommittee%2B1999-medium%402x.jpg","src_retina_lg":"\/assets\/content\/block_image\/inline_image\/generated_AAIB%2BExecutive%2BCommittee%2B1999-large%402x.jpg","id":"444cc234-2c83-11ef-982a-0242c0a87007","width_small":480,"height_small":360,"width_medium":850,"height_medium":638,"width_large":980,"height_large":735,"loading":"data:image\/jpeg;base64,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"}},{"id":"626515ea-2cca-11ef-a2a3-0242c0a87007","content":"

TELL US ABOUT THE EARLY DAYS OF AAIB. WHAT MOTIVATED YOU TO HELP LAUNCH THE ORGANIZATION, AND HOW DID YOU OVERCOME SOME OF THE INITIAL CHALLENGES YOU FACED IN GROWING IT?<\/h3>\r\n

Gail:<\/strong> There simply weren\u2019t many African Americans at Genentech when I joined the company, and many of us felt a sense of disconnection and isolation, both from the company and from each other. A few of us started having lunch together, and before we knew it, about 10-15 of us were meeting regularly. One day someone suggested that we form an employee group, and the idea immediately made sense to me. As for initial challenges, the first challenge we had was simply getting recognized as a company group. We met with some of the top executives to get their support, and fortunately they were very supportive. The second challenge we faced was that some people were nervous about joining the organization because they worried they wouldn\u2019t have support from their managers to do so. We worked hard, along with our many allies, to ensure that people felt supported to participate in an employee group.<\/p>","created_at":"2024-06-17 09:46:11","updated_at":"2024-08-13 09:00:15","type":"text","sort_order":4,"products":[]},{"id":"cb6e60b0-2c83-11ef-af6d-0242c0a87007","alignment":"right-align","caption":"AAIB hosted a Biotech Career Expo for College Track high school students in the Bayview area.","created_at":"2024-06-17 01:30:03","updated_at":"2025-03-27 09:00:26","url":null,"_blank":0,"type":"image","sort_order":5,"images":{"src_sm":"\/assets\/content\/block_image\/inline_image\/generated_AAIB_VIDA_ECO%2B-small.jpg","src_md":"\/assets\/content\/block_image\/inline_image\/generated_AAIB_VIDA_ECO%2B-medium.jpg","src_lg":"\/assets\/content\/block_image\/inline_image\/generated_AAIB_VIDA_ECO%2B-large.jpg","src_retina_sm":"\/assets\/content\/block_image\/inline_image\/generated_AAIB_VIDA_ECO%2B-small%402x.jpg","src_retina_md":"\/assets\/content\/block_image\/inline_image\/generated_AAIB_VIDA_ECO%2B-medium%402x.jpg","src_retina_lg":"\/assets\/content\/block_image\/inline_image\/generated_AAIB_VIDA_ECO%2B-large%402x.jpg","id":"cb71a6b2-2c83-11ef-841b-0242c0a87007","width_small":480,"height_small":360,"width_medium":850,"height_medium":638,"width_large":980,"height_large":735,"loading":"data:image\/jpeg;base64,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"}},{"id":"cb6d2ede-2c83-11ef-ab21-0242c0a87007","content":"
