The San Francisco Chapter has great monthly meetings. On the national
level, IICS, the International Interactive

ASTD, American Society for Training
& Development, is the major training industry trade association. A
few years back, ASTD took over SALT,
the Society for Applied Learning Technology. ASTD was chaffing under its
obsolete name. "American" is too narrow in our global economy; "training"
is out while "learning" is in. After a full year of study, surveys, focus
groups, and identity consultants, the new identity was announced. It's
"ASTD." The change is that the letters no longer stand for anything.
