ASTD of SWFL Wants You!

Volunteering...

 

It's that time of year when we at ASTD of SWFL start planning for 2014.  During this process we take pause to reflect over our past year's successes and areas of development. 

 

As we prepare to focus on making 2014 a year that is even better than 2013, we need help from you, our members.

 

First, we need members to volunteer.  What is a volunteer exactly?  So, I looked up the word volunteer on Dictionary.com and this is what I found:

 

Volunteer; Noun

- A person who voluntarily offers himself or herself for a service or undertaking.

 - A person who performs a service willingly and without pay.

 

Yes, we are looking for members to volunteer.  We want you!  Currently our board is made of volunteers who are passionate about the training and development profession.  Volunteers who want to provide programs and events that bring value, and that are cutting edge. 

 

We need members to volunteer who will bring a new dimension, and a fresh perspective at what ASTD of SWFL has to offer.  We want you!  We want you to serve on our board.   We want you to join a committee.  We want your voice to tell us what it is ASTD of SWFL needs to do to remain sustainable, cutting edge, and a valued organization in the community. 

 

So, if you are interested in volunteering, please contact me at [email protected].  It is never too late to volunteer and do your part by giving back to your community.

 

 

Stay connected, and I hope to see you at our November chapter meeting.

  
 

 Your ASTD SWFL President,

Ken Bodenhamer
