Staff Professional Development Group

Join the Staff Professional Development Group

In efforts to build upon the work of the Knowledge Council and to move the professional development initiative forward, a new Staff Professional Development Group is forming, comprised of:

(1) the ongoing management of programs and events,

(2) the implementation of new functional roles as described below and

(3) the support of staff-led initiatives, also described below.

This new group will meet monthly for two hours. If you are interested in participating, either in a functional role or with your own initiative, please indicate your interest on the form. We are also looking for department liaisons. If your department is interested in having a representative participate in this group, please have him/her complete this form.

This is an ongoing open call for participation; however, the need schedule a meeting requires a deadline for responses. Those who respond by Thursday, October 01 at 5pm will be included in a doodle poll to schedule the first meeting.
