Great Support Staff Seminar

The Reason - In striving for professional excellence, we need to broaden each participant’s perspective by learning more about other people and their jobs, and thereby improving communication and enhancing performance in and among support areas.

The Participants - All support staff—office, clerical, secretarial, lab assistants, administrative assistants, maintenance, custodians, experienced and inexperienced—are invited to take advantage of this unique professional development opportunity. The seminar is not limited to the already “great” rather; it is designed to attract all those who are striving to be great. We recommend that all support staff would benefit from and contribute to this search.

The Host - Rita Lease, founder of the Wisconsin Great Support Staff Seminar, will direct the retreat assisted by experienced support staff alumni, and the Wisconsin Great Support Staff Alumni!

The Purpose -

• To identify and share specific successful techniques and innovations used by support staff.

• To identify and analyze unsolved problems encountered on the job and to develop creative approaches to their solutions.
• To create new mixes of personnel to make them more aware of their potential as mutually supporting human resources.
• To cause participants to look beyond their own defined areas of responsibility for resources and ideas.
• To celebrate the continuing and future success of participants in and among support areas.
