About Us
ASTD Nebraska chapter received its charter from ASTD National on January 21, 1959 and had 26 members from over 20 companies in the Omaha metro area. Today, our chapter has 350 members representing over 100 companies.
We have an Executive Board consisting of 10 members and many more directors and committee members to help make ASTD Nebraska the preferred leader in workplace learning and performance. The chapter works to bring workshops, tools, resources and the network needed to enhance members' abilities to train, develop and support clients, organizations, and our local and global communities.
