Learning Leaders Special Interest Group
The ATD-Cascadia Learning Leaders Special Interest Group (SIG) is an informal discussion group where Talent Development leaders can talk about their challenges, successes, and what they are learning along the way. Our desire is to build a community of learning leaders who share best practices and feel supported in their work.
By attending the Learning Leaders SIG, you will have an opportunity to:
- · Connect with other learning leaders to share current issues
- · Gain actionable insights on delivering a talent development strategy
- · Receive valuable advice and support from your peers
This group meets during lunch on the first Tuesday of each month. Visit the Events page to register for an upcoming session.
Talent Development Leaders (managers and above) who are members or future members of ATD-Cascadia.
By talent development, we are specifically looking for those who:
- Manage a staff of trainers, instructional designers, learning designers
- Lead the learning and development function for an organization
- Serve as external consultants who advise on talent development strategy
- Have positions such as: Manager/Director of L&D/Training, Chief Learning Officer, Head of Talent Development, or HR leaders responsible for Talent Development
If you are not in a formal L&D leadership position, but want “a peak behind the curtain,” feel free to reach out to Dan Vetter or Dan Bilderback to learn more about this group and see if it is something that appeals to you.
