It was truly an honor to receive two ATD awards on behalf of the board and you, our members – the Share our Success best practice strategic planning award and the March 2022 Chapter of the Month award. These prestigious awards undergo a rigorous application and review process by ATD’s Chapter Recognition Committee and bring national recognition to our chapter. A big thank you to the 2021 ATD-LA leadership team, our office administrators and volunteers for their contributions to our success!

On a global note, be sure to check out the opportunity to volunteer at the ATD Global International Conference to be held in Orlando, Florida from May 15-18, 2022. This conference is attended by over 10,000 professionals from all over the world, and for every day you volunteer, you are eligible to attend the conference for free. For more information please contact Valerie Quezada our Volunteer Director at volunteers@atdla.org or visit https://www.atdvolunteers.org/.

As always, we have an outstanding line-up of programs and networking sessions, including our in-person summer mixer on July 21 at The Lab Gastropub near USC. We look forward to seeing you at our events and meetings!
