ATD Hawkeye Chapter

This has been an annual event for years. It is a way for Hawkeye ATD members to bring their professional skills and knowledge to anyone who works at or volunteers at a non-profit or is just starting their career. One of our presenters has said that this is their favorite event as those that are attending want to be there and are open to learning! Please consider volunteering your time to present by completing an RFP and help us spread the word about this award winning event!

Great opportunities ahead!
