Central Iowa ASTD Monthly President Update

Did you know that February is Heart Month?   Did you know that heart is a muscle and the hardest working muscle in the body, pumping enough blood in your lifetime to fill a supertanker!  As training professionals we all have heart in our work.   The chapter wants to make sure to keep all of member’s blood pumping by providing valuable programming.  In January we hosted our first Networking Connections session with over 60 people attending.  The session concentrated on how to connect with others, and included valuable networking etiquette tips.  Thank you Jeff Hannah for facilitating!

Interested in furthering your professional development? This year we are continuing to offer several programming events. The Trainer's Institute series programs continues to be a popular program and targets entry, mid or experienced professional by providing a wide range of courses customized to meet your level of development.  To see more details about Trainer's Institute program, visit the Professional Development section: Trainer's Institute Education Series or Trainer's Boot Camp.
