Listen to the Chapter's new Employee Learning Week promotional Public Service Announcement. Thanks to Scott Melanson and Debi Green for their work in producing it. (PS. This is the "long" version.)
Congratulations to Pierce Transit, and to our own Kelly Johnston, winners of one of the coveted National ASTD BEST Awards. "The ASTD BEST Awards recognize organizations that demonstrate enterprise-wide success as a result of employee learning and development. We are looking for organizations that get it: They use the learning function as a strategic business tool to get results."
Learn what social media and networking really means for workplace learning and performance… and why you can’t afford to be in the dark a minute longer. Due to popular demand, Rob Anderson (PEMCO) and Debra Aker (PEMCO) expand on their June 2010 ASTDps ICE presentation. For all the details and to register click here!
I encourage every ASTDps member to read Tony Bingham's open letter, "Does Training Work," currently posted on the National ASTD home page. The letter comes after three major -- and negative -- articles have appeared, each questioning the effectiveness of training, in three major national newspapers, USA Today, the New York Times (I posted an earlier blog on this article), and the Washington Post. Links to the three articles are embedded in the letter.

The Chapter Incentive Program is a way of helping our local chapter financially, which in turn helps us create new programs. When you support the National ASTD by renewing your membership, buying a book, or registering for a national conference, the local chapter earns a part of the revenue. Each chapter has been assigned a source code (for Puget Sound Chapter = CH8020). When you use the chapter source code to purchase ASTD products and services, our chapter will automatically get its share.
