Professional Development
Strong student services grow from ongoing learning that supports strong leadership, shared understanding, and responsive practice.
Annual Conferences
Our annual conferences provide shared learning that strengthens leadership, deepens understanding, and supports responsive practice across Manitoba.
SSAAM offers two annual learning events each year: a Winter Conference held in early December in Brandon, and a full-day workshop that follows the AGM each April. Together, these events support student services leaders in strengthening practice, deepening understanding, and collaborating across Manitoba.
Next conference:

Professional learning thrives when leaders share knowledge, collaborate openly, and strengthen practice together.
