Bring Your Best Self
July 26, 2017 marks the 5th Annual Next Opportunity at Work Conference (NOW Conference) for UC Berkeley staff. The all-day conference is designed to support staff career development through inspiring keynote speakers, concurrent workshops, and career planning resources.
In recognition of the crucial role staff play on campus, the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Equity & Inclusion and the Interim Chief Human Resources Officer joined together to sponsor this year's conference. These are challenging times worldwide as well as on campus. This year's theme, "Bring Your Best Self" embodies the commitment to provide hard-working campus staff members with the tools, practices, and inspirational insights that positively promote their well-being and career satisfaction.
Managers and supervisors are encouraged to approve requests from staff to attend (PPSM-50). The conference has been designed for flexibility, with a few of the sessions being repeated throughout the day in order to accommodate both full and partial day attendance. Registration is now closed.

- Welcome Remarks
