Duties: Allocation of UW System and University funds for individual professional development activities and for professional development programming.

Membership: Three classified staff employees. Current members are Amy Ibuaka (Chairperson), Ron Kottnitz, Liz Hessler, and Amy Plotner.

Allowable costs: Individual requests for funding should be limited to the areas of professional development or technical training. Types of activities include conferences, workshops, seminars, mini-courses, and training programs. College credit courses are not allowed unless directly related to current job duties.
Due to limited funding, employees are encouraged to request departmental funding in support of professional development activities prior to applying for Allocation monies. The Classified Staff Allocation Committee reserves the right to inquire of the employee regarding this matter.

How to apply: Classified staff employees interested in applying for professional development funds should complete the Request Form (download and type or fill in online and print) submit it to Amy Ibuaka, Phoenix Bookstore.
Note: All travel expenditures are governed by the UW System travel regulations. These regulations can be found on the Web at http://www.uwsa.edu/fadmin/fppp/fppp36.htm.

Feedback: Upon completion of the professional development activity, you must provide feedback via the Allocations Evaluation Form, so that information can be shared with others who may be interested in participating in the activity in the future.
