Young Professionals ERG Hosts First General Meeting
The first meeting of the Young Professionals employee resource group (ERG), Houston Methodist’s 10th ERG, is scheduled for Thursday, February 2 from noon – 1 p.m. The virtual meeting is open to all employees. This ERG seeks to provide opportunities for members to apply leadership skills and a platform to access available professional development resources, such as mentors. Young professionals are employees in the early stages of their career (within two years of beginning their role/title). However, you do not have to be a young professional to join. Employees may join any ERG if they identify with the group or would like to learn more and offer support. For information, contact Youngprofessionals@houstonmethodist.org.

Did You Know? – International Holocaust Remembrance Day
On January 27, 1945, Russian troops liberated the prisoners held at the Nazi concentration and extermination camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau, revealing to the world the horrors of the holocaust.
Established by the United Nations General Assembly in 2005 and observed each year on January 27, International Holocaust Remembrance Day honors the memory of the victims of this atrocity and addresses the residual trauma caused by Nazi genocide that resulted in the death of more than six million Jews and other victims of crimes perpetrated by Nazism.
According to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the designation promotes effective remembrance policies, caring for historic sites, educational programs, documentation and research to help prevent genocide around the world.
