Since the beginning of this year, ATD Golden Gate has hosted nearly 30 events, created two new Special Interest Groups  (Holistic Learning Design and 3D Learning), and had 14 relevant jobs postings for members. We also captured your feedback with the most extensive member and nonmember survey that the chapter has ever run, which we are using to adapt and grow. 

It’s been a challenging year and a half, but the ATD Golden Gate Chapter is still around because of our community. If you’re not already, please take this moment to show your support of Bay Area Talent Development by becoming a member.
