As part of the Staff Council's mission to promote organizational and professional development, we host Empower Hours on staff development or empowerment topics.
These talks allow staff to gain valuable knowledge and skills and connect in a supportive and collaborative environment. They are another way that the ASU Staff Council shows its dedication to fostering the growth and development of our staff. Sessions are scheduled for an hour.
