I also want to acknowledge members and prospective members of the ASTD Mt. Diablo Chapter not only for the strategic planning process documented throughout this presentation, but also for the opportunity to present an earlier version of this session as a 10-minute strategic planning process overview during the Chapter Board’s retreat in January 2011. Mt. Diablo Chapter Board members are a tremendous resource for the Chapter and the extended community they serve—including colleagues in other ASTD Chapters. To learn more about what they are doing or to contact them, please visit http://mtdiabloastd.org.
