The Better Together Conference is mandatory for all JMCS staff that are at half-time or greater. The entire week of January 22nd-26th are non-student work days, so there is no need to cover classes. The conference is January 23rd, 24th and 25th for JCMS staff.

If you are less than full time and will expend extra hours in attending, please speak with your director about supplemental pay. If you are hourly (less than half time) but would like to attend, please reach out to your director.

JMCS will pay for staff travel expenses: including mileage, food and lodging. JMCS will assist in making arrangements for staff as needed (flights, shuttles, etc).

JMCS Administrative Coordinator Dawn Ryley will email with further information for booking flights, hotel and reimbursements.
