PROSHARE

What is ProShare?

ProShare is a signature initiative sponsored by the Administrative Management Group (AMG) available to all UCLA staff and retirees. Every year, ProShare brings interested staff together in small groups for a 6-month networking and support program to share successful workplace practices and resources within a confidential and supportive setting. Through ProShare participants have built stronger networks across the university and learned more about different UCLA departments, divisions, and offices.

What will I gain from being part of ProShare?

In addition to meeting new colleagues from across UCLA and discussing various topics in your group’s meetings, you will build relationships that will foster a stronger community which you can call upon in the future. By attending meetings hosted at different UCLA departments – whether on-site or virtually – you will gain knowledge about the breadth and depth of university operations. Those who complete the program will receive a certificate of completion.

What do ProShare groups do?

Following a program launch in January, small groups will meet monthly throughout the duration of the program. Each group has the option to meet in-person or via Zoom. Each month, the meeting will be hosted by a different group member who will determine the agenda and topics to be discussed. Typical meetings may include (but not limited to):

  • A tour of the host’s facility or office, either virtually or in-person
  • A short presentation by the host about their division/department/office and their role
  • Confidential discussion focusing on topics the host is currently managing, with input from other group members as to possible solutions and resources
  • Confidential discussion during which other group members may share current events for feedback and advice
  • Mental health check and discuss best practices that group members have found useful
  • ProShare Your Vision – Group Vision Board Project

When are the ProShare meetings?

Members will collaborate to determine their group’s meeting times, and attendance at all meetings is essential. If your schedule is frequently unpredictable, this program may not be the best fit. In addition to monthly group meetings, there will be a key launch meeting to introduce your group and set schedules, as well as a celebratory wrap-up in the
summer.
