I am excited for ASTD 2013, and eager for the opportunity to meet as many members of the Human Capital Community of Practice as possible. I encourage you to visit ASTD Central, where an 80-foot Communities of Practice Wall will be on display. I, along with the other Community of Practice managers, will be stationed at the wall throughout the conference. We look forward to talking about our communities and answering any questions you may have.
