At #PDD25 earlier this month, we had the privilege of recognizing four remarkable professionals for their contributions to the talent development community. It was an honor to present awards to Malycki Ma?on-Sosa, Maureen Onyeziri, Olesya Holker, and Krista Van Hooser-Perin, Ph.D in celebration of their excellence. These individuals were nominated by their peers for the significant impact they make in the field. Winners received a 1-year free membership to ATD Central Iowa. Please join us in congratulating them on this well-deserved recognition. ??
