Values in Action Speaker Series

Poster for UMB’s Values in Action Speaker Series highlighting the core values of Respect and Integrity.

Join us for the next Values in Action Speaker Series Event

Nicole Palmore, Executive Director of Administration and Finance Employee and Organization Success; Denise Meyer, Environmental Services Director; Keisha Blake, Environmental Services Senior Manager; and Kyra Franklin, Day Shift Grounds’ Manager, will lead a candid conversation exploring the experiences and perspectives of the people whose essential work may not always be visible across our campus. Together, they will invite us to reflect on how everyday interactions can help ensure every member of the UMB community feels seen, valued, and respected and how we can collectively put Respect and Integrity into action across roles, departments, and spaces.

This hybrid program will be offered In-person at the 4MLK Building (4 N. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.) and on Zoom (link provided with registration) on Tuesday September 22, 2026 from 12pm – 1pm.

Please register here.
