Training

All UMB and Affiliate personnel are eligible to participate in travel training classes. Face-to-face workshops on policies and procedures are offered periodically throughout the year. In addition, online learning is available in the UMB Learning Management System.   

The Travel Professionals Group (TPG) meets quarterly to review and discuss issues, policy, and procedures. The TPG is composed of Travel Administrators, Approvers, and Supervisors, but the meetings are open to everyone.  Meetings are announced in The Elm Weekly email.
