NOTES FROM THE CHAIR
        My mother-in-law recently told me she’s happy to see 2021 end.  “2021 sucked,” she noted.  Of course, she says that about every year.  As the year sunsets, we tend to reflect back on the long year we’ve lived through and the promise of a new one forthcoming.  The great promise of a new year with unlimited possibilities will always shine over a challenging, long one past.  Yet, 2021 was not a terrible year.  We were able to gain some sense of normalcy from the pandemic.  We were able to dip our feet back into the real world.  We were able to return to onsite work.  This month’s newsletter is a short look back at 2021, happily reflecting on the contributions of AMG.  The year may have been challenging, but we made it through.  If you felt 2021 was a good year, fondly look back on the joys.  If you felt 2021 could have been better, 2022 is your opportunity.  Thank you for your continued support of AMG.  May you all have a happy and healthy (and un-sucky) holiday and new year.

Chair, Administrative Management Group

AMG Year in Review 

AMG Speaker Event Highlights

By Patty Gonzalez Johnson

The AMG Board was busy in 2021 advancing our mission of promoting professional development and facilitating connections through our speaker series and networking events. We connected with our UCLA colleagues throughout the campus and helped build community.

We hosted speakers that empowered staff to overcome personal and professional challenges brought on by COVID-19. Other speakers provided tools and ideas to help staff align their strengths and development plans with the university’s current needs. We also learned about the impact of technology on our jobs and the changing nature of work. Our speaker provided tools for development to help staff stand out in a competitive environment. Our CFO panel shared their experience ascending to their current roll and inspired attendees to pursue a career in finance. 

In 2022 we will continue our speaker series with experts who can help staff position themselves for the next step in their UCLA career and share resources to help them stand-out in their current and future positions. We hope you will join us!

UCLA AMG Leadership Conference 
By Britanny Lewis


I am very proud to have been the Co-Chair of the 2021 UCLA AMG Leadership Conference.  Due to the pandemic, a highly anticipated conference that is usually in person, moved to a never before virtual one.   After many, many months of planning, I am excited to share that the conference provided a 2-day professional development experience for more than 1400 UCLA Staff/Faculty and more.
