1. Survey of Members & Guests - ASTD Alaska Chapter

The ASTD Alaska Survey regarding 2013 services and activities is open!

Chapter success is driven by a variety of factors. We strive to offer consistent benefits to members and guests in the quest for quality in adult learning.

Guests (non-members) are invited along with current Chapter/National members to share their viewpoints, as we believe that providing services that would attract new members can result. What would cause you to join and support the organization?

Please let us know what would serve you best!


Note: According to the ASTD Alaska Chapter Bylaws, the management of the affairs of the chapter shall be vested in the Board of Directors. The Board conducts a survey of the membership each year to determine what services have been beneficial. This action helps evaluate the 'management of the affairs' as provided through the year.

The Certified Professional in Learning & Performance (CPLP) training and credentialing process provides a way for workplace learning and performance professionals to demonstrate value to employers and to enhance confidence about knowledge of the field. ASTD Alaska Chapter is evaluating a proposal to a 12 - 16 month study group (using ASTD's Study Kit). This series helps prepare one for CPLP certification.
