DAI returned as a sponsor and exhibitor to the Training Officers Consortium's (TOC) Annual Institute, and DAI team members attended the three-day training conference held in Ocean City, MD. The conference included skill-building workshops, seminars and an exhibit floor for networking and presentations from vendors. DAI also oversaw the new-member outreach, the new-attendee orientation and the mentor/protégé program, in which new attendees were paired with "veteran" TOC members as mentors. The Training Officers Consortium is a nonprofit organization of federal trainers and other professionals from industry and academia who are interested in contributing to human capital, training knowledge and best practices.
