.:About ASTD-Valley of the Sun
Our Chapter
This chapter was chartered in 1947. It now has 514 members; a percentage of those are also members of the National ASTD organization.
Our members represent financial and educational institutions, retailers, hospitals, high technology firms, manufacturing, government agencies, service industries, construction, tourism, publishing and airlines, as well as independent consultants and students. We meet regularly on the last Wednesday of each month, for either lunch or dinner. Meetings include a program with speakers selected for their expertise in a particular training or management area.
In addition to the state-of-the-art knowledge gained from these meetings, socializing and networking with others in the field are exciting aspects of our chapter. Information on each meeting is published in the Chapter newsletter and on the website.
