Special Interest Groups (SIGs)
A SIG is a smaller group within our chapter whose members have a shared interest in a specific topic related to talent development. Driven by group member interests, SIGs are a great way to network and get ideas and information about something that matters to you.
The following SIGs meet regularly and are open to new members or visitors any time. Refer to the events calendar on the ATD Central Iowa web site for upcoming dates, times, locations and topics.
The purpose of the Leadership SIG is to explore new possibilities, share best practices, and build relationships in order to develop your leadership ability and develop leadership capacity in others.
The Leadership SIG meets the third Friday of each month from 8:30 – 10:00 a.m. Meetings are held virtually via a Zoom meeting link.
The SIG is hosted by Aaron Barber and Lacy Fitzpatrick. If you have any questions, comments or ideas for the SIG, please connect with one of them.
The Technology Special Interest Group (SIG) engages the talent development community in collaborative discussion and workshops to solve problems, spark ideas, and expand their knowledge and skills around e-learning and the use of technology to support talent development.
The SIG is hosted by Jackie Mitchell. If you have any questions, comments or ideas for the SIG, please connect with her.
