Yo where are my L&D friends and acquaintances north, south and east in the Twin Cities? Great opportunity for events in different spots around town! Would love to see you in 2025.

Greetings, Association for Talent Development - Greater Twin Cities (ATD-GTC)! ? One of our resolutions for 2025 is to expand our reach.? ? We’d love more members - *always* - and we’d also love to serve our community better. That’s why we’d like to host future events in different locations. Our events have been mostly to the west (Minneapolis and the western suburbs) and we would love to head east, north and/or south!? ? Interested in volunteering to host or providing an event location in the eastern, northern or southern Twin Cities area? (We’d prefer to avoid the downtowns in search of easy/convenient parking.)
