Staff Council offers professional development support

UAF Staff Council is offering financial support for conference registrations; professional memberships or dues; online classes outside of LinkedIn Learning; online training courses; and miscellaneous professional development needs.

Staff Development funds for these purposes are limited, so the request needs to follow these guidelines: 1. The request must obviously support UAF staff development. 2. The requested amount must be either the amount of the fees or a maximum of $500.

The application deadline is June 15.

UAF Staff Council has agreed that this can include the following examples (if your request does not quite fit, submit a request anyway for evaluation):

• Professional organization membership and dues
• Online training
• Online conferences
• Professional webinars

Thank you to Interim President Pitney for supporting professional development for staff with these funds. Request funds at https://forms.gle/3XAQr1pft3gPJmkg6.
