Mission Statement
SHINE will work to further the mission and values of the Methodist Health System, represent the interests of all LGBTQIA+ employees and those who identify as allies to create a safe environment for and to grow, professionally and personally, supporting the overall diversity and inclusion strategy of the system.
What are the expectations if I join the group?
At this stage, we simply ask that you participate, either actively or passively, in the things that interest you. For example, if you're not able to attend an event live, watch the recording when you get a chance. In both cases, share feedback! We ask that you commit to not only your own growth, but the growth of others and the success of the group as a whole.
