Members of a Community of Practice bring together staff with similar professional interests and serve as a community to share knowledge and offer professional development. They develop a shared collective of resources and tools to enhance particular skills. We encourage all staff to be involved in many of these organizations as they are a great way to meet new colleagues outside of your division, find mentors/mentees, learn new skills, and develop leadership skills.
All staff can choose to participate in People & Culture's Sponsored Staff Organizations, which fall under two sections - Affinity Staff Organizations and Communities of Practice. All staff are automatically members of the Berkeley Staff Assembly.
Staff Orgs are open to all UC Berkeley staff members, regardless of race, color, national origin, ethnicity, age, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, religion, or any other protected class status. UC Berkeley is committed to fostering an inclusive environment that welcomes participants from all backgrounds.
