Join the Board
What are the Benefits of Becoming a Mid-Michigan ASTD Chapter Board Member, Committee Chair or Committee Member?
Professional Development
Opportunity to showcase your personal skills by bringing your expertise to bear at the local level by volunteering to do what you do best: whether that is member communication, planning education programs, managing chapter finances, or writing articles for the newsletter – the possibilities are endless! Let us know what your personal interests and skills are, and we’ll do our best to utilize them.
New Skill Acquisition
Broaden or develop your under-used skills in another area of training and business development such as program development, financial planning and analysis, public relations, web development and media publications
Increased Leadership Development
Participating actively as part of the Board or on a committee allows you to develop and practice leadership skills you might not utilize in your current career position. Board experience is also a great resume builder!
Grow Your Network
Through your interactions with other workplace learning and performance professionals, your network and affiliation with others grows and expands. In today’s economic and challenging job climate, it helps to know people!
Opportunity to Volunteer in the Community
For some individuals, the opportunity to give back to the community becomes a strong desire, especially when they become comfortable in their career achievements. Serving on a board or subcommittee is a great chance to “pay it forward” so that others might enjoy some of the same benefits, resources, and mentors you’ve had throughout your career.
Discounted National Membership Dues
Additionally, as a Chapter Board member, National ASTD recognizes your commitment, hard work, and effort at the local chapter level by discounting your National Membership Dues. Board members, committee chairs and committee members also receive a discount for chapter programs.
