President's Message | ||||||
And here we are – in 2018! I don’t know about you, but I love that fresh-start and clean-slate feeling that comes with ringing in the New Year. There is something so fresh about January… the air outside is crisp and the hustle and bustle of the holidays is generally behind us. We find ourselves looking ahead. And with that air of newness comes some changes to our ATD Puget Sound Board. We are starting this year with some fresh faces – ones you have likely seen serving in other capacities within the chapter. Please join me in welcoming Marie Tjernlund as President Elect, Stephanie Tham as Director of Finance, Andrew Herkert as Director of Marketing & Communication and Renin Oliver as Director of Conference & Partnerships. These fine folks join Janet Williams Hepler, Past President; Brent Kobayashi, Director of Membership; and Samantha Knorr, Director of Programs to make up your ATDps Board of Directors. This group is a powerhouse of talented strategic thinkers, dreamers and doers. I could not be more excited for what this year will hold thanks to the work of our board and the involvement of members like you! You are going to see some fresh changes this year! In our 2017 Annual Survey, you told us that you are particularly interested in technology literacy, industry knowledge skill building and evaluating learning impact. We are grateful for the feedback and opportunity to develop programs that will better meet your professional development needs. Accordingly, we will begin this year with a new 3-year strategic plan that sets our focus on engagement on three fronts – personal, virtual and organizational. Look for new chapter meeting topics, fresh professional development opportunities and, different ways to connect with our amazing network of Talent Development professionals. Just like January brings a fresh newness to the year; a group of energized and passionate individuals, some quality feedback from you, and a focus on our 3 year plan, is bringing renewal to ATD Puget Sound. How will you engage, learn, develop and grow with us in 2018? I look forward to serving you in the year to come! Erin Clarke President |
