Have you always wanted to present at one of the monthly ATD Maine Chapter events?  If so, now's your chance.  Act now, because the call for proposals will only remain open from March 1st through April 15th.

The Maine ATD Chapter Program Team invites you to submit a proposal to present a program during our 2019-20 season.

Click here (or use the navigation menu to get to the proposal: click "Opportunities" and then "Present With Us") to read all about it and to submit your proposal.

Our goal for the 2019-20 season is to provide opportunities for our members to benefit from engaging professional development addressing ATD’s National Competency Model foundational competencies and areas of expertise.

Our chapter is partnering with more than 40 ATD Chapters to create an online book club for L&D professionals around the country. The group will connect virtually through an online forum to discuss books related to L&D, training, organizational development and much more. You can learn more and sign up for the book club here: https://www.pbc.guru/td/. The program is completely free so feel free to pass the opportunity on to friends and colleagues.

After exciting and thought-provoking discussions of Carol Dweck's Mindset and Cal Newport's Deep Work, the book club is starting to discuss its next book: Influencer: The Power to Change Anything by the team that wrote Crucial Conversations.
