Staff Alliance offers professional development support

Staff Alliance is offering support for staff professional development activities that directly support their professional development in FY25. Examples include but not limited to: Professional certifications, attending or presenting at a conference, professional society memberships, online or in-person trainings and webinars. Please note, this is not applicable to UA class fees.

This support is good for any activities occurring within FY25, and is for up to $500 per employee, while funds last. If you have a situation where you need to pay for something in FY25 that will not take place until after FY25, please email [email protected]. We'll review this on a case-by-case basis.

Personal reimbursements are to be avoided at all possible costs. Please work with a ProCard holder or your fiscal technicians to make the purchase through UA Procurement approved avenues. Travel related expenses are required to be submitted through Concur. Please work with your travel department if you have questions. Spending guidance will be included in your award letter.

Requirements

Must be a fully benefited staff member. Temporary part time employees, graduate students and student employees are not eligible.
