Hi ATD San Diego!

Happy spring everyone! This month I have a few items to highlight including our April chapter meeting, chapter projects and a study group opportunity.

You don’t have to work in L&D very long to realize the importance that technology has had and will continue to have in our world. I know many of you work with all types of technology to deliver learning for the advancement of human performance for your employers or your own businesses.

I hope to see you at our April chapter meeting where we will learn what three fellow chapter members are doing with technology, and gain insights, tips and best practices. This “mini conference” will provide you the opportunity to discuss some of the hottest topics like eLearning, emerging technologies, games and simulations, mobile and social learning, platform and tools, technology strategies for leaders, and virtual classrooms. We will also have the opportunity to meet vendors who offer learning technologies and tools to help you achieve your goals.

Be sure to register for this much anticipated event. It will take place on Saturday, April 13 from 2:30 – 5:30 at the Scripps Miramar Ranch Library. If you are available to assist in set-up, breakdown or registration, please let Chelsea know at programs@tdsandiego.org.

You received an email last week regarding our project to link ATD National membership with the chapter. This process will help streamline our membership application process. If you are a Power Member, this change will make renewal much easier.

Are you considering or currently working on obtaining your CPLP certification? If you are, let me know. One of our members, Gwen Franco, is preparing for the exam and is interested in pulling together a study group. Please let me know if you are interested. You can email me at president@tdsandiego.org.

Also coming soon, is a new website design. Our Technology Director Christine and her team are working diligently on this project which should be ready to test shortly.

I hope to see you at our April event. Should you have any questions or comments, please feel free to reach out at president@tdsandiego.org.

Best Regards,

Mary Jane Riccardi Chapter President
