December 5, 2024
TIME: 6:00 - 8:00 PM ET
(Virtual Event)
Join us for an evening of networking and celebration of the Ann Arbor ATD's study group for CPTD certification. Hosted by study group facilitator, Lisa Garcia.
Starting out in June 2020, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, this program's purpose was to support our own CPTD candidates as well as those from around the world. The program has brought together expert speakers from all over the country, seasoned professionals seeking certification and ATD chapters eager to help them reach their certification goal. All of this was done as volunteers above and beyond their other life priorities. The efforts of everyone involved exemplifies the good of humanity. Ann Arbor ATD is very excited to celebrate all of this during Employee Learning Week.
Come find out about the program's history, the people involved and also if you are curious about CPTD certification. We welcome everyone to join in the fun and meet these amazing talent development professionals!
