We are committed to communicating UMB best practices and sharing our expertise and experiences with current and new administrative professionals at the University.

  2. Offer skill improvement tips and demos to enhance organizing, coordinating, and problem-solving techniques by inviting each committee member to share from their perspective and expertise and/or invite a speaker from UMB departments to present and speak on a relevant topic useful to UMB administrative professionals.
  3. Improve communications among administrative staff by identifying areas needing upgrades or improvements throughout the University that will enhance the UMB experience.
  4. Encourage new UMB administrative support professionals to reach out to the committee to obtain information and tools offered.
