Wanted: New set of practitioner volunteers!

As the Philippine Society for Training & Development celebrates the Manpower and Development week by organizing a PSTD Summit on May 23, 2012, at the Multi Purpose Hall of MERALCO Compound in Ortigas, City,  some members of its Board of Trustees (BOTs) will be handing on the torch to others after serving the board and the society for two  fruitful years. All these BOT members are practitioners and executives from the different companies or organizations, who have generously lent their expertise and time in serving the organization whose aim is to advocate organizational results through workplace learning and development and to professionalize practitioners of the field.

Did you know that every 4^th week of May is officially the Manpower Training and Development Week in our country? This was declared by the late President Ferdinand Marcos through Proclamation No. 1142 (05-10-1973).

As the Philippine Society for Training & Development holds its 37^th National Convention at the Apo View Hotel in Davao City on May 17-19, 2011, some members of its Board of Trustees (BOTs) will be handing on the torch to others after serving the board and the society for one short but fruitful year. All these BOT members are practitioners and executives from the different companies or organizations, who have generously lent their expertise and time in serving the organization whose aim is to advocate organizational results through workplace learning and development and to professionalize practitioners of the field. But as the policy of the society goes, of the 11 eleven members of the boards, only six of them (those who topped in the number of votes) will continue to serve for another year, while the others will have to be replaced by new members elected by the majority of the membership.
