New program created for emerging professionals

The Emerging Professionals Program, a new program designed to connect and engage colleagues while creating opportunities for personal and professional growth, is launching at UNMC and Nebraska Medicine.

The program is open to all colleagues and students interested in forming relationships with their coworkers, giving back to the community, participating in educational opportunities and/or helping the organizations achieve their shared mission. It also will connect members with other networks throughout the Greater Omaha Chamber Young Professionals.

Leadership positions will be available on the Emerging Professionals Program leadership team, including president, vice president, treasurer and secretary. Committee chairs and team members also will be needed for membership, communications, events and community engagement.

Learn more about the program at an upcoming informational coffee hour, held at several locations across the organization.
