Our Mission

The Dartmouth Staff Partnership builds community, increases recognition opportunities, and promotes personal and professional growth for staff.

Background

In August of 2003, the Office of Human Resources was one of the sponsors of the first annual Support Staff Conference. Entitled Awareness and Enrichment: The Role of Support Staff as Educators, the event was organized by and for nonexempt staff and was attended by nearly seventy nonexempt employees from across campus.

Some of the issues and needs eliciting the most robust discussion included career development and recognition programs for support staff. Recognizing that Human Resources could be a valuable partner in achieving these goals, a volunteer group of staff joined with Barbara Johnson, Acting Associate Vice President for Human Resources, and James Burger, HR Communications Manager, to form the Dartmouth Staff Partnership in April, 2004.

The Dartmouth Staff Partnership is a unique example of team building founded on shared responsibility. It represents an excellent opportunity for staff to collaborate, develop professionally, and to manage projects that benefit Dartmouth staff.
