Hosted By: HRSTM, Guest Speaker: Dena Barnwell, Towson University

Administrative support staff are like the Swiss Army Knives of an organization.

During our time together, we’ll discuss ways to ensure you have the personal and professional capacity to take care of yourself, while supporting organizations.
