Join us for a stellar night of connections to start your 2023!

Our 1st virtual session of 2023 will kick-off an engaging start to the New Year with the Valley of the Sun chapter.  We'll share current chapter resources while exploring what you, our learning community, would like to see throughout the year in regard to both programming and connections. 

We'll then dedicate time to smaller groups, allowing all attendees the opportunity to make new personal connections that can grow with you throughout the year.  Even those individuals who cringe at the word 'networking' or describe themselves as an 'introvert' will find value and new links. 


Bring a friend to be entered into a drawing for a free ATD Education certificate program 

When registering yourself, simply enter your friend's information as your Guest.  They will receive all event communication automatically, and you'll be entered into the drawing.
