Professional Development Committee's Quarter 3 Roundtable

Description

Join folks from the Professional Development Committee for an informal chat about what is top of mind for auxiliary professionals. We will use this time to talk about what is buzzing in the NACAS Lounge and also ask you to bring any and all topics to the table. Questions about AI Innovations, Talent Development, and Summer Facilities Projects? Come tell us! No question or idea is too big or too small to share. Coffee Chats will be scheduled quarterly so we can continue regular discussions throughout the year.
