Professional Development

Manager Exchange

Managing at Northridge Exchange, MaNEx for short, is an opportunity for Management Plan Personnel (MPPs) to participate in development opportunities facilitated by CSUN Managers and to exchange ideas and solutions.

MPPs are encouraged to attend as often as their schedule permits and to raise new topics for discussion as time allows.  Each session is scheduled for one hour or 90 minutes and features an administrator or guest speaker presenting on a specific topic for 20 to 30 minutes and then facilitating a cross-divisional exchange of information and ideas by the attendees – practices currently employed addressing the topic, any challenges, and possible solutions or improvements to practices.


On behalf of the Leadership Development Workgroup and Human Resources, we are pleased to share with you the launch of the Manager Exchange (MaNEx) Leadership Development Series.  This series provides us an opportunity to further explore CSUN’s Leadership Principles and share how we as managers model the attributes individually, and create environments where our employees realize their success.

Individual Calendar invites have been sent to campus leadership for each of the Spring 2023 sessions.  All sessions will use the same Zoom link. If you need to have the link resent to you, please email us here
