The ALC Program Advisory Committee is now accepting session proposals for the 2010 ASTD Chapter Leaders Conference (ALC) to be held in Arlington, VA, September 30-October 2. ALC provides chapter leaders with a strategic and concentrated opportunity to learn how to be more effective in their respective chapter leadership roles. ALC provides opportunities for chapter leaders to partner with other volunteer leaders and national ASTD staff members to grow the profession and shape successful ASTD chapters.

Complimentary conference registration is offered to conference session facilitators. If your chapter has programs or initiatives in place that could benefit other chapters, consider submitting a proposal to present a session. Chapters that have been recognized for Sharing Our Success (SOS) or Chapter of the Month are especially encouraged to submit a session proposal.
