Nancy Berg Selected as Staff Ambassador
Nancy
Berg, Assistant to the Director at the Institute for Educational
Research and Service (IERS), was recently selected to join the
2010-2011 class of Staff Ambassadors at the University of Montana.
The
University Staff Ambassadors program is a select group of classified UM
employees who participate in a 12-month professional development
curriculum. The program is designed to provide skill development and
internal networking while broadening staff members’ inside knowledge of
UM.
Conceived
in 2009 and sponsored by UM, the USA program offers staff a better
understanding of their value and role within UM and fosters
cross-departmental communication by expanding working relationships.
With
more than six years at IERS, Berg has built upon her background in
domestic violence by providing trainings in suicide prevention, and is
a certified trainer of Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training
(ASIST). Berg is a graduate of the University of New Mexico with a BA
in Geography and a Minor in History.
