Announcing Two Webcast Recordings on Evaluation

AHRD has released the recordings of two recent webcasts on evaluation. Both are available from the AHRD Webcasts page, and are presented by leading HRD scholars. The first (October 2009) accompanies the publications of the second edition of Evaluation in Organizations: A Systematic Approach to Enhancing Learning, Performance, and Change. The second (November 2009) uses a new Master Class format by dedicating the entire webcast to answering questions submitted by AHRD members. These recordings are available free to AHRD members.


NEW Online Searchable Consultants Directory - Check it out!

Are you an independent consultant and interested in getting business? Are you looking for consulting support at your organization? Ever wondered who in AHRD can help you with consulting assignments?

AHRD now offers a new service to its members so consultants can share news of their services with other members, and all members can quickly search to find a consultant in their geography or an area of specialism. This is all part of the membership package, with no additional fees.

To tell others about your services, simply log into your member profile, opt into being listed in the new online directory, complete the fields, and write a 75 word description field to tell potential clients about your business. You will be added to the searchable directory within one week of your submission!

Remember, this service is available only to members of AHRD.
