August 2009: Alaska awarded Superstar Status - ASTD national congratulates our chapters Alaska for being a chapter membership SUPERSTAR. To achieve SUPERSTAR status the chapter’s joint national & chapter membership percentage as of December 31, 2009, must have been over 50 percent. The Alaska Chapter Board joint membership percentage was 65%, which exceeded the 30 percent Chapter Operating Requirement (CORE).
This is an outstanding achievement & shows the chapter’s commitment to informing members of the benefits of both ASTD national & the local chapter.
April 2009: Alaska named ASTD Chapter of the Month- We were informed by the national office of ASTD that the Alaska Chapter was selected for recognition in April! This award is predicated on completion of all CORE requirements (for management of the chapter) plus submission of a winning best practice (Share Our Success program). The chapter received a cash award plus a training kit for CPLP preparation. Kudos, Alaska. This is the second time we have received this honor.

Thanks to those who participated in our annual survey, letting us know how ASTD best helps you...and what you would like to see the Chapter do in 2009! Members and nonmembers interested in workplace performance improvement were asked to please provide perspectives.
Alaska Chapter Gains National Recognition
The chapter received an SOS Award (Share Our Success) from national ASTD for demonstrating best practices in meeting management. The SOS program helps chapters improve through sharing and finding easy-to-use ideas, resources, and practices in the areas of communication, contribution to the community, membership, and the development of programs, products, and services. This November 2008 accolade is the second SOS for the Alaska Chapter. National members can read more on the national ASTD site. Achieving SOS recognition plus being CORE compliance (annual quality assurance program) puts the chapter in the running for Chapter of the Month recognition.
What is the "Power of 2?"
When ASTD members join both the national organization and their chapter, they choose to be knowledge leaders in the workplace learning and performance (WLP) profession and change makers in their own backyard. Joint membership offers WLP professionals a unique opportunity to connect with local, national, and international professionals. Joint members can learn about trends in the field, and gain access to research, principles, practices, and templates they can apply directly to impacting organizational results, their community, and advancing their career.
Chapters with more national members have a stronger leadership pool. In addition, joint members tend to be more engaged in the chapter.

When you renew your national membership, buy a book, or register for a national conference online, just use Alaska’s chapter source code, & your support a revenue share for local activities.
