Message from the 2011 KC-ASTD President
Ana-Elena Jensen, Ph.D.
Welcome to the second quarter of 2011 fellow chapter members. We have good news to report and are excited to share it with you.
We were recently awarded Chapter of the Month by ASTD National! This is a result of the strong leadership on our board and the foundations established with our planning and programs. As a result of the award we will receive a small stipend from ASTD National which will go toward our long range plans for the chapter. We will also receive an updated version of the CPLP competency model, which now includes social networking. Read More
Volunteer Opportunities are Available!

Once Again KC-ASTD Wins National Recognition!
 Earlier this year the chapter was recognized by ASTD's national Share Our Success program, which identifies best practices among local ASTD chapters and uses them as models for other chapters. We achieved recognition for the Back to Basics series and have now also earned recognition for our “Pro Forma Event Budget Tool”. If you’d like to know more about this tool, contact Connie Fox, Director of Board Governance Archives.
Congratulations to KC-ASTD on Achieving 100% CORE Compliance!
The KC-ASTD Board has been notified that KC-ASTD has achieved 100% CORE Compliance for 2009!
For anyone not familiar with CORE, it's a set of chapter guidelines from ASTD National. Short for Chapter Operating Requirements, CORE is designed to help chapters deliver consistent benefits to members. Guidelines consist of elements in five key areas: administration, financial, membership, professional development, and communication, which are necessary for running a chapter like a business.
KC-ASTD was also recognized as a Membership STAR for achieving between 35 and 50% joint membership with ASTD National.
Thanks to everyone who helps make our chapter great through your volunteerism and participation!

“Back to Basics” Brown Bag Series
The series consists of six one-and-a-half-hour classes on a basic training and development skill (e.g., making training more engaging, basics of instructional design, presentation skills, evaluating training, etc.) Classes do not need to be taken sequentially but can be used to close skill gaps you may have in a particular area.

Support Your Local Chapter!
When you do business with ASTD, use our chapter's CHIP code - CH6027! Supporting your chapter enables us to do more on the local level.
The CHIP offers chapters an opportunity to earn additional revenue on purchases their members make from national ASTD, such as national memberships, conference registrations, books, webinars, and classes.

"KC ASTD was a great way for me to gain exposure to the training field across industries. The wide range of companies represented at monthly meetings guarantees that new perspectives will always be offered. On a more personal note - the relationships I developed through KC ASTD has created new opportunities for me and helped me to explore my career options - My recent hire date at Cerner being the most recent example of this. I would recommend this organization to any individual eager to grow professionally and expand their knowledge base." - Mary Beth Russell
