The Lincoln Chapter of the American Society for Training & Development (ASTD-Lincoln) was presented a Chapter Excellence Award by the national association during the ASTD 2013 International Conference & Exposition, held recently in Dallas, TX.
The chapter won the award for Excellence in Joint Membership Growth. Over the last year, ASTD-Lincoln has focused on promoting the benefits of membership in both the Lincoln Chapter and National ASTD, known as Power Membership. Members can pay both memberships to the local chapter, and the chapter then contacts National with payment, making it easier for members by paying one invoice and making one contact. The chapter also works to align both membership expiration dates for ease of renewing.
The ASTD Chapter Excellence Awards recognize chapters that have achieved excellence in three key areas of chapter development: strategic partnership, joint chapter-national membership growth, and the advancement of the profession through CPLP. CPLP is the Certified Professional in Learning and Performance credential, the professional credential for the training and development field. Winning chapters receive a $1,000 cash award from the national organization.
ASTD-Lincoln is a professional association for people of diverse backgrounds, creating a world that works better through exceptional learning and performance. Monthly educational programs are held on the third Thursday of each month from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
