If you follow us on social media, you noticed that in July we were communicating about changes coming to our social media channels. This month our Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, Twitter, and You-Tube accounts will reflect our new name. Please engage with us on social media if you have yet to do so. We also are building a platform that will allow collaboration and knowledge sharing on the ATD website. We will be providing more information about that in the coming months.
You are beginning to see the new ATD logo on many of our products and services. Our education courses and communities of practice are being rebranded, and our 2014 Excellence in Practice Awards program launched July 1 under the ATD banner.
A significant milestone for the new ATD is the opening of our office in Shanghai, China, later this month. The opening coincides with our China Summit, taking place in Beijing and Shanghai. This is our first office outside the United States and reflects our commitment to expanding our footprint to better serve the global community of talent development professionals. As we continue to move through our transition process, we’ll keep you updated on the changes you’re seeing and what is coming next.
Thank you—as always—for your commitment to creating a world that works better.
