WEDNESDAY: Come to OP Staff Assembly meeting and give your input!
August 7, 2017 •
The 2017-18 OP Staff Assembly (OPSA) Steering Committee is kicking off another year of staff-focused initiatives, fun social events and outreach activities — all geared to build engagement, support staff development and strengthen the OP community.
While the Steering Committee provides leadership, all OP staff are members of Staff Assembly. Do you have ideas for events or initiatives that would help foster community at OP? Please attend the monthly OPSA meeting and offer your input:
Date: Wednesday, Aug. 9
Time: 12 to 1 p.m.
Location: Franklin 5318

Every year, the OPSA Steering Committee hosts/co-hosts staff events for OP staff including Take our Daughters and Sons to Work Day, the Mardi Gras mixer, and brown bags on topics such as fire safety and supporting college-bound children. This year, the committee is also committed to helping address any concerns raised in the recent OP Staff Engagement Survey.
Taking the helm as OPSA chair for 2017-18 is Emma Sebastian, senior business systems analyst for Information Technology Services. She will lead the committee of 10 volunteer staff that includes newly elected Mindy Matthews, our first OPSA Steering Committee member from the UCPath Center!
