Staff Alliance is once again offering support for staff for activities that directly support their professional development in FY24. Examples include but not limited to: professional certifications, attending or presenting at a conference, professional society memberships, online or in-person trainings, webinars. (Please note, this is not applicable to UA class fees.)

This support is good for any activities occurring within FY24*, and is for up to $500 per employee, while the funds last.

*If you have a situation where you need to pay for something in FY24 that will not take place until after FY24, please email neromanovsky@alaska.edu. We'll review this on a case-by-case basis.
