The Central Ohio Chapter of ASTD is led by a dedicated group of volunteers who generously offer their time, expertise and passion to make the chapter the vibrant professional development resource it is today. The benefits of volunteerism are clear:
- Develop your leadership skills
- Position yourself on the leading edge of workplace learning and performance
- Partner with professional peers with a broad variety of experiences
- Build enriching, rewarding relationships
- Support the advancement of the Workplace Learning and Performance (WLP) profession in Central Ohio
As well, active leadership in the Central Ohio Chapter of ASTD makes a strong statement on your professional resume!
The Executive Board takes a unique approach to recruiting volunteer support for the chapter. Volunteerism is less about what the chapter needs, and more about what the volunteer’s needs are. We encourage all volunteers to identify and pursue their passion through their role. Find what interests you, what excites you, and chance are, it’s what you will be excellent at, and enjoy doing!
To aid you in identifying where your unique talents fit best, the numerous potential areas for volunteering are listed below. If you don’t find a focus area that leverages your skills, you are encouraged to contact the Chapter President to further discuss how your knowledge and abilities may benefit the chapter and the profession in Central Ohio.
