Human Rights and Relations Commission
Working Group Seeks New Members
Edina, Minn., Nov. 22, 2017 – The Human Rights & Relations Commission (HRRC) seeks interested
members for a new Days of Remembrance and Genocide Awareness Working Group. This working group will
develop a theme and agenda for the Days of Remembrance event, identify a venue and guest speakers or
presenters, help publicize and assist with day-of event logistics.
The Days of Remembrance event provides an opportunity to remember and honor victims of the Holocaust
and genocides and to share experiences of survivors of the Holocaust. The event serves to educate the
community on how the Holocaust and genocide impact the lives of survivors and affects the community. It’s
also a time to reflect on what can be done to make a difference on these issues.
“We have had a great deal of interest in the past from Days of Remembrance attendees and members in the
community looking to get more involved. We want to take advantage of that energy and interest,” said Project
Coordinator and HRRC Staff Liaison MJ Lamon.
The Working Group will consist of two to three members, in addition to Human Rights & Relations
Commissioners, and is open to any interested candidates. Members can expect a time commitment of two to
six hours per month, with the commitment ending in May. Interested candidates can apply online at
EdinaMN.gov/DOR-Work-Group. Applications are due Dec. 5.
For more information, contact Lamon at 952-826-0360 or MLamon@EdinaMN.gov.
