<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">Professional development of staff provides value to any organization; it fosters growth for the individual as well as for the institution. However, what happens when you have staff members who are unable to see the value
of or know where to find professional development opportunities? This panel will discuss the importance of professional development for staff and how to motivate and empower staff to want to broaden their own professional knowledge.</div>
