The Staff Council Professional Development Committee invites you to join us for our 2022 Conference – with both in-person and virtual components! Over the last two years, UMKC staff had to work in new, creative ways while balancing a myriad of professional and personal concerns, challenges, and changes. By attending this year’s conference, How it Started vs. How it’s Going, we hope you will be able to learn in an engaging, interactive format that blends our prior in-person and new virtual modalities.
