About Us:
ISPI Atlanta
The Greater Atlanta Chapter of the International Society for Performance
Improvement (ISPI) was founded in 1980. Our diverse membership is composed of
internal and external corporate training professionals (directors, managers, developers,
and instructors), performance technologists, and consultants. ISPI members also
work in organizational development/change management, education, human resources
development, or are students.
The Chapter members represent large and small, for-profit
and non-profit, organizations from a variety of industries such as technology,
education, information services, manufacturing, military, communications, telecommunications,
transportation, health, and government.
We have entered another ISPI-Atlanta year (04/01/10 - 03/31/11) and already have
many exciting plans in place. A new board has been elected and has held its first board meeting. We have a dynamic group with great ideas and amazing programs planned for all of you!
We look forward to seeing you at an upcoming meeting. Mark your calendars for
the 3rd Wednesday of odd numbered months and continue to check the IPSI Atlanta
website for updates. We look forward to seeing you soon!
