Erricka Moore
Errika serves as the inaugural Executive Director for the STEM Funders Network committed to ensuring DEIA in STEM opportunity investments from cradle to career. She believes we CAN ensure that historically marginalized and underrepresented communities in STEM have more equitable access to funding and opportunities.
Previously she worked for IBM, BMC Software, and Southwire. In 2012 she decided she was committed to changing the things she could no longer accept. Since then, she’s served as the Vice President of Member Services and External Affairs for ITSMF increasing the representation in the black technology pipeline, the Executive Director for TAG-ED focused on K-12 STEM advocacy, and the Senior Program Officer at the Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta focused on creating equity in education through workforce development for over 980,000 students.
As a servant leader, she currently serves on the Advisory Boards for Florida International University’s Honors College, Georgia Tech’s Industrial Engineering department, and Georgia DoE’s Computer Science department. She also serves on the national boards for Project Scientist and Ferst Readers, the strategic planning committee for the National Center for Family Math, the Georgia CTAE Industry Advisory Council, and as the state lead for the National Million Women Mentors initiative. In every role, she’s committed to DEIA, system-level change, challenging the systems that have created both disparities and inhibitors to equitable access, and being a voice for the voiceless.
Errika has been recognized as an Education Policy Fellow, a Trailblazer by Million Women Mentors, an Outstanding Georgia Citizen by the Secretary of the State, a Woman of the Year by Atlanta’s Women in Technology, and an Ecosystem Builder by multiple organizations.
She’s a published co-author, a Forbes Nonprofit Council member, and a former STEM magazine editor.
