At ASTD, we understand how important it is to demonstrate value. Our goal is to provide you with the best content, networking, tools, and service that will help you succeed in your job and your career.

To provide you with even better access to how-to content and tools, we are starting a new benefit called “ASTD Content To Go.” This package provides quick access to expertise about a hot topic in workplace learning and performance. To get you started, we have collected trends on talent management, e-learning, and leadership development, and posted this content and research all in one place. Each month, we will pull together the best ASTD resources on important trends in the field. Future topics include career development, employee engagement, skills gap, sales training, and more.

And the best part? All of this content is included as part of your membership with ASTD – all you need to do is enter your user ID and password to access everything.

Check out your new benefit and let us know how you like it!

Several weeks ago we announced the availability of our latest White Paper -- Keep Learning Mission Critical: How to Communicate the Value of Learning in Difficult Economic Times.

The demand for the download overwhelmed the ASTD online store, and left us scrambling for solutions and ways to make good on an unfortunate situation!

For anyone who tried to download the paper could not, we express our sincere apologies! If you are willing to try again -- or haven't yet tried, the paper is available here.

We've heard from a couple of members already. Let us know if your experience matches theirs!

"I think this is a tremendous resource. It is more than worth the value of membership by itself. I knew many resources were available to members but didn't know the depth."
