It's National Volunteer Week which made me think it's a good time to offer a heartfelt "THANK YOU!!" to all of the volunteers who give their time and energy to ASTD. From our Board of Directors, to those who serve on advisory committees, to the people who help us at our conferences, and with special initiatives like reviewing award applications, ASTD is fortunate to benefit from the passion, commitment, and talent of so many people.

Here's a list of all of ASTD national's volunteer committees:

ASTD Board of Directors

In addition there are thousands of volunteers who give of their time at the local level by serving their ASTD chapter.

Thanks to all of you who give so generously and help ASTD fulfill its vision to "create a world that works better."
