Helping NY Learn to Work Better

Welcome to ASTDNY – the most comprehensive community of Learning and Development professionals in the USA! If you have a question you need answered, a best practice you want to benchmark or just an interest in making new friends from the Training Community, get to know ASTDNY.

The ASTDNY Mission is to serve New York L&D Professionals with cutting-edge programs, resources, and events to continually revise the strategic value that members deliver to their stakeholders. This membership will expand and deepen your network of professional associates and enhance your career opportunities.

Our theme for 2011 is "Connect with the Cutting Edge,” since ASTDNY represents world-class programming, thought leading presenters, invaluable networking opportunities, and easy access to relevant and timely industry content to keep you ahead of the curve.

Our programming is organized around the following categories:

I: Organizational Consulting: Strategy, Culture and Change, Talent Management / Succession Planning

II: Instructional Systems Design: Defined Outcomes, Complete Experiences, Innovative and Collaborative Tools

III: Delivery and Execution: For Application, Knowledge Transfer, Accelerated Competency Development; Management Performance Support

IV: Evaluation and Contribution to Business Results: Planned Analysis, ROI, Documentation, Communications.

Proof of our commitment to the "cutting edge" comes with an impressive line-up of industry leaders for monthly Chapter meetings. In February we’ll have Cal Wick, Chairman of the Fort Hill Company and co-author of “The Six Disciplines of Breakthrough Learning.” Cal is perhaps the foremost expert in LEARNING TRANSFER. You have probably heard of his “Friday Fives” technology from one of the dozens of Fortune 100 firms that have used it for several years. Join us on Feb 9th to learn more..

A new ASTDNY website launches this month with a streamlined layout for ease of navigation; online payment capability for efficient planning and record keeping; a blog and forums for access to dynamic online discussions and rich content; and an enhanced member directory.

To further keep the community close to the cutting edge, we will be making greater use of our social media channels to connect with you so be sure to join us on the ASTDNY Blog, Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter. Jump on and get connected, or join us at an upcoming Chapter event and get to know this exceptional community a little better. It can be a help to you in so many ways!.

Thank you for your interest in this dynamic, insightful community. We look forward to ASTDNY playing a key role in your professional growth, your learning methods, and your relationships with the best professionals in the industry.

Jim O'Hern

President, ASTDNY
