Happy Spring ATD San Diego, 

We’ve made it through the first quarter of 2021, can you believe it? As they say, time flies when you’re having fun. I hope you’ve been having fun enjoying our programming so far this year. What’s coming up next? 

One of our main focuses this year as a board is getting you involved in our chapter. We love meeting you at our virtual events and when you ping us on LinkedIn. Thanks to everyone who has joined us for an event this year or connected with us on LinkedIn. 

Have you wondered how you can learn about who we are as a chapter and develop new skills? Well, I’d like to highlight two ways to do just that. First, Melissa Esten and the membership committee have put together a session called “Discover the Benefits of Membership” that launches at noon on Wednesday April 7th. This is an informal interactive time set aside for you to learn more about ATD San Diego, our purpose, and mission. Join us this Wednesday to learn how to maximize your membership or why becoming a member may be a good fit for you. 

Next, we need your help to keep our chapter running strong. ATD San Diego is 100% volunteer led. As volunteers we give a portion of our time to develop our professional skills while strengthening and growing our talent development network. Currently our Finance Director is looking for help with several responsibilities. If you want to develop your skills in reporting, creating visuals to show data trends, track our income, or reach out to members to renew please reach out to me directly. There are six other volunteer opportunities to partner with our board directors to share your talent and develop your skills. Check our Volunteer Opportunities on our website often, as it is updated regularly. 

How can you connect this month? Join us for our virtual Professional Mixer the third Thursday of the month at 6:00p.m. Bring your own beverage or snack, introduce yourself, mingle and make new friends. On the 14th, we’re hosting a session on Performance Consulting and our Zoom Like a Boss session moved to the 28th of this month.  

Here’s looking forward to seeing you soon. 

All my Best,
