Dear Members and Friends,

Thank you for being a valued member and friend of the Association for Talent Development Los Angeles chapter. I hope that you have enjoyed learning from the multitude of programs we offer and connected with fellow colleagues or made new friends through our virtual and in-person events.

I wanted to take this opportunity to update you on the status of our program offerings for 2020. As you know, the pandemic has caused a great deal of disruption. Many venues, including USC and Antioch University that are our host venues for in-person workshops and chapter meetings, have enforced strict requirements that have precluded us from hosting in-person events on their campuses. As a result, we have had to move all of our programs to a virtual platform. This will be effective throughout the rest of 2020.

We apologize for any inconvenience that this has caused, but I want to assure you that we have made a smooth transition from in-person to virtual programs, and the quality of our programs still remains of the highest standards. We are also offering pre- and post-chapter meeting virtual networking opportunities. So please be sure to check out the calendar and save the dates for upcoming chapter meetings, webinars, special interest group meetings and the August 5 Member Networking Mixer.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me at president@atdla.org. We look forward to your continued participation in ATD-LA. And if you are interested in volunteering or serving on a committee, please contact Valerie Quezada at volunteers@atdla.org.

Stay safe and healthy and best wishes to you and your family!

Sincerely,

Kavita Gupta

ATD-LA President
