The roles of President, VP Programs, and VP Marketing remain unfilled and will be appointed by the Acting President pending 2020 Board approval.

An Institute is looking for a dynamic instructor to lead an “Instruct the Instructor” class. They would like a professional trainer to share tips and tricks on how to be a better instructor, tools to engage, key strategies, a simple “how to”.  The class is planned for a half or full day session in NYC. If interested, reach out to gregory.simpson@atdnyc.org.
