    Our first event of the year went amazingly well, in spite of the inclement weather.

    We had over 90 people registered and those who braved the storm enjoyed food and games that engaged new relationships that will surely help us grow in our service delivery throughout the years to come.

    We want to thank everyone who came. Check out the video clips on our YouTube channel.

    What are they? The VOS Blog and VOS Wiki pages.

    Our goal is to stay on top of the trending in training and development in order to give you, our members, the straight talk and opportunities to explore what these can do for you in the workplace learning environment you are creating within your company and/or business atmosphere.

    Let us know of any training and development workshops that can benefit Valley professionals so we can post them on our calendar of events. Sent the notices to webdirector@vos.astd.org and please join our ASTD-VOS community created from our 2009 Web 2.0 Social Learning Conference and post them there as well. We look foward to a fantastic 2010!

    Please take some time, check them out and participate if you would. With the Web 2.0 components and strategies being all the talk about town now (and a growing trend for training and development), we felt it only appropriate to engage them here as well. The permissions should be set for you to be able to participate, but let us know if you have any difficulties. 

    Btw... if you have some expertise with SharePoint and would like to volunteer for the Web/Tech Committee, please let us know. Contact the webdirector@vos.astd.org
