Letter from the President

All of us have heard about the importance of having a solid succession plan in place for the purposes of business continuity.  While this is true for businesses, it is also a reality for our board.  As we enter the back part of the year, several of our board members will be finishing their terms.  To ensure there are no lapses in leadership, we are continually networking with potential successors in the Columbus area.  While we have several people on our radar at any given time, we realize that there are many other talented people in this market we cannot see.

Recently you received an email from our President-elect Denise Jedinak regarding Chapter involvement in 2011.  I encourage anyone interested in becoming actively involved with Central Ohio ASTD to reply to Denise (Pres_Elect@centralohioastd.org) by November 10th.  This is a rewarding experience that connects you to high-powered learning and development professionals in our community.  It looks pretty good on your resume too.

Thanks for your consideration!
