"Report to the Community" Presentation

Dahlgren commands update regional community council By Andrew Revelos NSASP Staff Writer The South Potomac Civilian-Military Community Relations (COMREL) Council met May 9 at the University of Mary Washington (UMW) Dahlgren Campus, where representatives from several of the installation's supported commands briefed the community about how they serve the national defense. Capt. Peter Nette, NSASP commanding officer, welcomed attendees before turning over the podium to Joe Grzeika, member of the King George County Board of Supervisors and the local host for the event. "We want to welcome you all," said Grzeika. "We're glad you are in King George [County]." Grzeika, who also serves on the UMW Board of Visitors, praised the effort that led to the expansion of the university. "We had the state of Virginia see the need to have a place ... to provide higher-level degrees, masters and doctorates, to the scientists and engineers right here in Dahlgren, because that workforce is so critical," said Grzeika. "We want to make sure [the UMW Dahlgren Campus] is a worldclass research and development facility for the Navy and for the nation." The presentations that followed illustrated how commands hosted on board Naval Support Facility (NSF) Dahlgren support the national defense. "We've formatted the today's meeting as a Report to the Community by all the major military commands onboard the installation," Nette told attendees. "Our intent is to offer a comprehensive review of ... the [commands'] daily activities and how they integrate with Dahlgren and the community." Marc Magdinec, deputy commander for Navy Air and Missile Defense Command (NAMDC), told attendees about how his command of 75 personnel has grown since NAMDC's founding in 2009. "Our mission has been evolving," he said. "We started out as integrated air and missile defense ... to defend against ballistic missiles, against air threats like cruise missiles and aircraft. "When you see ships deployed around the world, our command is helping those folks make decisions about where they should be operat-

"We talk to people about how to use the systems we have in this very complex world. We also do assessments: our job is to figure out what the Navy does and does well and where our gaps are." NAMDC's role in the national defense does not stop at the shoreline, and several European nations are evaluating whether or not basing

Navy systems on land provides needed missile defense. "We're taking a ship and a capability and we're placing it on land, so we're able to protect against threats coming out of Iran into Europe," said Magdinec. Capt. Sam Hancock, chief of staff for Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Field Activity, talked to the community about his organization's role in the military and told attendees about a challenging exercise being undertaken. "This evening we have a test flight mission," said Hancock. "We're going tobeinterceptingaballistictestmissile in space this evening as we continue development of our future systems." Hancock described how Aegis BMD refines anti-ballistic missile technology and equipment as part of the Department of Defense's overall anti-missile strategy. Aegis BMD's work is divided into three "pillars" of computer program development, missile development and hardware development. Like NAMDC, Aegis BMD is actively involved in the "Aegis ashore" project to refine a sea-based system for use on land. The organization also maintains existing Aegis systems on-

board ships and developing improvements and next-generation technology. "... All of that is being developed right here in Dahlgren," said Hancock. Capt. Michael Smith, commanding officer of Dahlgren's largest command, the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division, continued the RDT&E theme. He described several of his organization's responsibilities in the areas of laser, high-power microwaves, ordnance and lethality testing. "We are the Center of Excellence for the Navy's surface combat systems," said Smith. "The areas we are working in are going to continue to grow even with the downturn in defense budgets." Robert Tolhurst, executive director of the JointWarfare Analysis Center (JWAC), described how JWAC provides "precise, technical solutions" for the operating forces across DoD. The organization evolved out of NSWCDD and employs similar, technical professions. Capt. Donald Schmieley, commanding officer of the Center for Surface Combat Systems (CSCS), described how CSCS trains Sailors re-

May is Military Spouse Appreciation Month Toughest job in the military honored

By Cmdr. Elvis Mikel, Executive Officer, Naval Support Activity South Potomac

To Military Spouses - Thank You For All You Do May is Military Spouse Appreciation Month. This month acknowledges the significant contributions, support, and sacrifices of the spouses of our Military men and women. Since 1984, we've take time to celebrate the men and women that have supported their military spouses through deployments, drill weekends, cross-country and acrossthe-world moves, recruiting events, training exercises, and more, all while you kept the home fires burning. Your active duty spouse volunteers to put their uniform on every morning to serve our country. In a very real way, you volunteer to accept all that goes along with that. Here is a story that also centers on appreciation, and it's one that has direct bearing on the lives of military spouses. At the turn of the 19th Century, America was deep into what we now think of as the War of 1812. The British burned our capitol, captured a few notable prisoners, and had their sights set on seizing control of the Port of Baltimore. A young lawyer named Frances Scott Key was sent to Baltimore to negotiate the release of prisoners and, although he was successful, found himself sequestered onboard one of the British ships after having overheard plans the British were making to attack Fort McHenry later that night. In Baltimore, the defenders of Ft. McHenry had been expecting an attack for some time. Major Armistead, the commander of Ft. McHenry, commissioned Mary Pickersgill to sew a flag large enough to be seen by the British ships from a distance. That first flag consisted of 15 white stars on a blue field, along with eight red stripes and seven white stripes. It measured 30 feet high and 42 feet long. That's just about half the size of a standard movie screen. The only place large enough to lay it out and sew it was in the warehouse of the local brewery where Mary worked every night for a week. It was finished on September 12, 1814. On the night of 13 September, the battle began. Major Armistead refused to surrender and ordered men to do whatever it took to guarantee the flag never touched the ground. It was to remain constantly visible to the British out at sea. Frances Scott Key had a grandstand seat out on the Bay from the safety of that British ship, but all he could do

Naval Support Activity South Potomac honored military spouses at a May 15 tea party at the Chapel Annex in Dahlgren. Spouses enjoyed an impressive spread of treats under a tent arranged by Terry Geoghagen. The festivities included games and drawings for a chance to win a caricature. A collaborative effort between Dahlgren's Fleet and Family Support Center, the USO and the chaplain's office made the celebration possible. Cheers! From right to left, military spouses Leah Zang, Dawn Rauch, Amy Parker and Chante'l Ainley enjoy tea under the tent.

It was a sight to behold; all night long, bombs lit up the sky. One shell made a direct hit on the flag and tore out a few of the stars. A British gunner leaned over and told Key to watch and see, all the stars would be gone by morning. As the night wore on, fog rolled in, but even when visibility was poor, the flag could be seen standing tall, illuminated by those bursting bombs. At some point in the predawn, the shelling stopped, the air was still, and the fog was thick. But then, at the first light of dawn, there she was! The flag was battered and it was torn, but it stood tall flying proudly in the sky supported by the bodies of the soldiers who had given their lives to ensure it remained upright. The experience moved Key so deeply that he wrote a poem called "The Defense of Fort McHenry", which later became known as "The Star-Spangled Banner," our National Anthem. Our country is once again at war. We don't read about it in the history books; we live it. Today, our flag has 50 stars, along with seven red stripes and six white stripes and it's our military members who ensure it never touches the ground. But your husbands and wives don't bear the weight of the flag alone. You're right

there next to them, making sure that our flag, no matter how battered and torn, waves proudly in the sky. Every missed dinner and family plan ruined by weekend duty or that TDY that suddenly appeared lay at the base of the flag. Every PCS when you leave friends behind and your favorite piece of furniture arrives broken lay at the base of the flag. Every home repair you make on our own, because we all know nothing breaks until your spouse is gone, lay at the base of the flag. Every second spent separated by yet another deployment lay at the base of the flag. You sacrifice a piece of yourselves each and every day to ensure that our flag never touches the ground. Our national anthem isn't an annoying interruption to our mornings, nor is it a formality to endure before the "real fun" begins. It's a reminder that everything you face as military spouses matters. What you do, day in and day out, often without conscious thought, is noticed and appreciated. When you hear our national anthem, you should all remember that you play a vital role in ensuring that our star spangled banner continues to wave over the land of the free and the home of the brave. Thank you for your selfless service!

By Mike Welding, NSWC Indian Head Division Public Affairs, and John Joyce, NSWC Dahlgren Division Public Affairs A capacity crowd of small business executives discovered a myriad of partnering and prospective contracting opportunities at the first joint "Small Business Opportunities Fair and Conference" featuring two Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Divisions at the University of Mary Washington (UMW) Dahlgren campus May 8. Top NSWC Indian Head Division (NSWC IHD) and NSWC Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) leaders representing command, technical, small business and contracts offices shared their knowledge and expertise with businessmen and women interested in becoming a partner or expanding their current partnership with NSWC. "With the increased emphasis on competition in the current business environment, keeping an eye on small businesses and small business participation is critical," said Kris Parker, NSWCDD Deputy for Small Business. "Events such as this help us (NSWCDD & NSWCIHD) determine who's out there from a partnering standpoint, and help small businesses determine what efforts are coming up and where they should apply their limited resources." What's more, the Navy's current and potential small business partners learned precisely how they could align with the capabilities of the two warfare center divisions. "I am extremely encouraged and optimistic about the future," said Earnest King, Chief Marketing Officer, II Corps Consultants, Inc. "Perhaps the most beneficial aspect of the conference was the open lines of communication and willingness of the small business advocates at both NSWC Dahlgren Division and NSWC Indian Head Division to assist small businesses with insight and forecasted opportunities to evaluate." King was among approximately 250 executives representing more than 100 companies who enjoyed a series of "firsts" at the event, including: • A combined overview of both the NSWC Dahlgren Division and NSWC Indian Head Division Warfare Centers (NSWCIHD) • In-depth technical and business overviews presented by command staff from both NSWC Divisions • A new UMW Dahlgren Campus location to allow for easier access and greater participation

Lt. Col. James Bachinsky, Joint Staff Comptroller Acquisition Management Branch Chief, briefs more than 250 executives representing over 100 companies at the 20th Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) "Small Business Opportunities Fair and Conference" held at the University of Mary Washington (UMW) Dahlgren campus May 8.

Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) Deputy for Small Business Kris Parker speaks with II Corps Consultants, Inc., executive Earnest King at the 20th Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) "Small Business Opportunities Fair and Conference." The businessmen and women also networked with professionals from other small businesses, large businesses and academia - furthering their opportunities for teaming and partnerships. They listened to NSWCIHD Commander Capt. Andrew Buduo and NSWCIHD Technical Director Dennis McLaughlin as well as NSWCDD Commander Capt. Michael Smith and NSWCDD Technical Director Carl Siel present command technical and business overviews geared to helping small and large business executives and entrepreneurs guide their business decisions. "The warfare centers complement one another," said Smith, pointing out that every Navy warfare center division has its own niche and collaborates closely. "For instance, Dahlgren Division tests products developed at Indian Head." The event promoted service contract opportunities for small businesses with the Pentagon-based Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Maryland-based NSWC Indian Head Division and Naval Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technology Division as well as NSWC Dahlgren Division, headquartered in Virginia. "Indian Head is a good

place to do business," Buduo said. "Our work is projected to grow over the next several years." It may seem counterintuitive during a time of declining defense budgets to expect growth, but it has a lot to do with Indian Head Division's mission beyond service contracts, explained McLaughlin. "Developing energetics weapons systems is a very unique business," he added. "For instance, we are the only site that conducts substantive work in all phases of weapon energetics." Chiefs of Contracts from NSWCDD and NSWCIHD Pat Canciglia and Penny Kennedy respectively - provided procurement forecasts and explained how they handle changes in the procurement environment while focusing on small business. "We are looking at our initiatives to improve our small business contracting," Kennedy said. "This is one reason we are doing things like industry days, to reach out to small businesses and educate them about what we do." Both warfare centers partner with industry to bring innovative solutions and performance improvements to the warfighter at a reduced cost. "NSWC Dahlgren is recognized for its leadership in sys-

tems integration," said Siel. "We rely on you to augment that leadership. The complex systems we develop and support require quick and ready access to new technology and unique skills in order to meet the needs of our warfighters. Sometimes the response time can be very short. Readiness is everything." The capabilities of small businesses to provide rapid and cost-effective technological solutions are considered an invaluable resource by the event's leaders faced with challenges associated with reducing total ownership costs across the Navy. "Without question, budget constraints are having an impact," said Smith. "But we continue to deliver critical technology and products and are recognized for our leadership in surface warfare and systems engineering." NSWC Indian Head is planning to have another industry outreach day in January 2013, one that will focus on the command's 144 technical areas. "We expect an uptick in work due to our unique technical capabilities," said McLaughlin. "Our manufacturing workload is already increasing and may offer an opportunity for contractor surge support." The warfare centers' parent command, Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), has also embarked on a larger initiative to promote competition on contracts. According to NAVSEA's Head of Contracts, Jerry Punderson, NAVSEA contract work totaled $36 billion last year, with much of it going to single competitive bid contracts. NAVSEA wants to reduce the number of single competitive bid contracts for several reasons, particularly to improve buying power. "From a total ownership cost perspective, hosting the event at the University of Mary Washington allowed Dahlgren to realize a savings of approximately $15,000," said Parker.

NSWC IHD employees support 2012 Team America Rocketry Challenge By Mike Welding NSWC Indian Head Division Public Affairs Several Naval SurfaceWarfare Center, Indian Head Division (NSWC IHD) Professional Development Council (PDC) members and one senior engineer joined representatives from several other Department of Defense organizations to support the 2012Team America Rocketry Challenge (TARC) held at Great Meadow, Va., on May 12. Sponsored by the Aerospace Industries Association (AIA) and the National Association of Rocketry (NAR), TARC is the world's largest rocket contest. TARC was initially meant to be a one-time celebration of the Centennial of Flight. Due to its popularity, TARC has become an annual event intended to foster enthusiasm and encouragement among students to study math and science as well as pursue careers in aerospace. Several thousand students from across the U.S. participate inTARC every year. Teams of junior high and high school students design, build and fly model rockets that must reach a specific altitude and fly for a set duration. The rockets must carry an egg as a payload. The teams must follow a set of rules that change each year when they develop their models. These contests are designed to encourage students to study math and science and pursue careers in aerospace. NSWC IHD's employees supported this year's contest with a booth display of actual rocket models that have been or are currently in use. Senior engineer, FrankTse, a long-time proponent of participation in TARC, said it's important to really connect with students. "It is always great to listen to the student's questions about the items in our display, talk to them about the rockets they built for the contest, and show them career opportunities in rocket propulsion," Tse said. According toTravisThom, a member of the NSWC IHD's PDC, the command's booth was popular with the students, other children and adults. "Our booth showed a concrete connection between what the students worked on and what we do at Indian Head Division," said Thom. "The popularity of our display was also due in part to the number of real world items we had on display, including an ejection seat and rocket motors." The command's booth showed a

Andrew Jaffke, the 39th Term PDC Chair, said this real world connection made an impact on the students. "Providing an opportunity for the kids to see real-world applications of engineering concepts they learned about not only helped promote STEM and Indian Head Division, it energized the kids to continue their pursuits," Jaffke said. Tse and Rich Low, another NSWC IHD engineer, initiated the command's involvement in TARC nine years ago. Low said the command's approach has always focused on the real world. "We make sure the kids get to learn what real engineers and rocketry is all

about," said Low. "We also stress they can pursue a viable career if they study math and science in pursuit of an engineering or science degree." Prizes at the 10th annual TARC included cash and scholarships split between the top ten teams. Additionally, NASA invited the top teams to participate in an advanced rocketry program. As the largest Department of Defense full-spectrum energetics facility, Naval SurfaceWarfare Center, Indian Head Division is one of ten Naval Sea Systems CommandWarfare Center Divisions. Indian Head's mission is to research, develop, test, evaluate, and produce energetics and energetic systems for fighting forces around the globe.

Fleet and Family Support recognizes volunteers By Andrew Revelos NSASP Staff Writer Naval Support Activity South Potomac's Fleet and Family Support Center (FFSC) in Dahlgren recognized 20 volunteers at a May 9 ceremony for their work helping service members. The volunteers helped meet the needs of service members in three vital areas: Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA), serving in the Retired Activities Office (RAO) and as Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) coordinators. Frank Furtado, FFSC director, welcomed guests and thanked the volunteers for their service. "We are here to recognize invaluable service and contributions of our volunteers, who graciously give us their time and talents while performing duties as retired activities officers, volunteer income tax assistants and sexual assault victim advocates," said Furtado. "The programs they support would not be as successful without the generosity of these individuals that we honor today." Capt. Peter Nette, NSASP commanding officer, praised the work the volunteers perform in all three areas. "First I'll touch on the Retired Activities Office," he said. "I appreciate all the support and assistance you guys do out here." The RAO provides service members with guidance about all

327 hours serving 42 people in 2011. Preventing sexual assault is everyone's duty in the military, but NSASP's SAPR coordinators go above and beyond that call, volunteering their time, energy and emotional strength to assist victims. "It's become a big topic in the military across all services," said Nette. "[Sexual assault] is an unfortunate occurrence in our military, specifically the Navy. There's a lot of work that goes in to pre-

Frances R. Cook, a software development contractor at the Joint Warfare Analysis Center (JWAC), participates in the lion dance as demonstrated by the Wong People, a Chinese-American martial arts group from Washington, DC. In the foreground, JWAC Commander, Navy Capt. Gary Shoman and Executive Director Robert A. Tolhurst, Jr., look on. For the third year, the Joint Warfare Analysis Center (JWAC) celebrated cultural and ethnic diversity in a program featuring music, food, and displays on May 17, 2012. This year's theme was "Bridging our Cultures." "Celebrating diversity and cultural awareness is a significant part of the workforce to help bring about change," said Phyllis Jackson, JWAC's deputy Equal Employment Opportunity officer. "I believe we maintain a work environment at JWAC that demonstrates we're on the same team when it comes to respecting diversity and cultural backgrounds." Besides the Wong People, other featured performers were the "JWAC Singers" comprised of Annette H. Bell, Babette H. Harris, and Coston A. Cheatham, who sang a medley of songs; a Washington, D,C,-based Puerto Rican dance company, Raices de Borinquen; Montford Point Marine veterans, the first African-Americans inducted into the Marine Corps; Wounded Warriors Sean Locker and Matthew Page, from the Naval Surface Warfare Center's Z Department who shared their experiences returning from the war in Iraq; and two JWAC employees, Krissie E. Gilroy and Catherine P. Willard. who gave perspectives about personality traits and growing up deaf, respectively.

WASHINGTON - Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC) announced the phased Navy-wide release of the Housing Early Application Tool (HEAT). This web based tool will allow Sailors and their families to apply for hosing online form any computer. The launch of HEAT allows Sailors to tap into their DEERS record while ensuring privacy of personal information, creating an easy user experience. Spouses can use the application as well, needing only minimal information about their Sailor. HEAT can be securely accessed from any computer with an internet connection. Service members or their spouses can use HEAT prior to receiving PCS orders to request information about community housing or check on their eligibility for military and privatized housing. They may also submit HEAT requests to multiple installations if they are not sure where they may be stationed next. Corky Vazquez, CNIC N93 Housing Program Manager, said, "Our goal with HEAT is to reach out to Sailors early in the PCS process to reduce stress and provide proactive support when moving from one duty station to another. With HEAT Sailors and their families are able to make contact with our Navy Housing Service Centers and Privatization Partners to discuss their housing needs and learn about their housing options at any time. HEAT makes it easy to connect with our housing professionals and make informed decisions before even having orders." NSA South Potomac Installations began using this tool on May 7. HEAT will be implemented Navy wide by June 30. To access HEAT and for more information about when your base will have HEAT, please visit http:www.cnic.na vy.mil/HEAT.

sponsible for operating advanced combat systems.With a mission to train Sailors such as fire controlmen and sonar technicians, Schmieley expressed solidarity with UMW. "We're all about training," he said. "We are in the same business." Schmieley told attendees about how CSCS manages 14 schools around the country, each with a mission to train Sailors on advanced combat systems. One of those schools, the Aegis Training and Readiness Center (ATRC), is located in Dahlgren. Capt. Ian Hall, commanding officer of ATRC, told the community about his organization's mission. "What we do at the Aegis Training and Readiness Center is ... to train young men and women how to operate these very complex combat systems," he said. "We take technical concepts and technical equipment and break it down so someone with a high school education can understand it." ATRC trains officers and enlisted Sailors and also offers team courses that provide guidance to crews. The command also hosts the largest number of service members in Dahlgren and was recently re-accredited, allowing students to continue receiving college credit for completing training. "We jealously guard those standards," said Hall. The last command representative to speak was Ken St. Clair, deputy for the 20th Space Control Squadron Detachment One. The command processes data collected from the Air Force Space Surveillance System, better known as the Space Fence. The multi-static VHF system monitors objects in orbit and collects 191,000 observations per day, on average. A series of transmitter and receiver sites along the 33rd Parallel allows the Space Fence to collect observations passively, 24hours a day. "Our system is unique ... in that it's an un-cued sensor," said St. Clair. "We don't have to look for objects. Our fence is sitting there all the time; if something passes through it, we pick it up." The South Potomac Community Relations Council meets quarterly and includes representatives from military commands on NSF Dahlgren and NSF Indian Head, as well as community leaders and businessmen from King George County and and the Town of Colonial Beach in Virginia and Charles County and the Town of Indian Head in Maryland. TheTown of Indian Head will host the next COMREL meeting, scheduled for Aug. 2.

Class Sarah Wood were all recognized for their service as SAPR Coordinators. The last awards went to four individuals with a knack for something most people despise: tax preparation. The VITA volunteers put those skills to use to not only save service members money, but keep them on good terms with the taxman. "Everybody likes that," said Nette. "It puts money back into service members' pockets." The amount of money VITA helped service members onboard NSASP save was much more than mere pocket change. In 2011, the volunteers brought in $1.5 million in federal refunds,

saving 753 service members an estimated $145,000 in tax preparation fees. The VITA volunteers gave 1,419 hours of their time during tax season. "That is significant," said Nette. "It's a lot of savings, especially for our young service members..." Carol Allison, Chief Intelligence Specialist (Surface Warfare/Air Warfare) Darin Kroft, Carol Sparbel and Steve Wisener were recognized for the outstanding service they provided as part of VITA. Nette reiterated the valuable service provided by volunteers of all three programs. "I commend you and I thank you for everything," he said.

Members of the NSASP police department brushed up on their rappelling skills May 7 at the Fredericksburg Police Department. Officers started the evening's training with a modest 10foot rappel but ended the night doing tandem rappels, upside-down off of a simulated helicopter skid.

Surface Combat Training Command recognized for training excellence By Kimberly Lansdale Center for Surface Combat Systems Center for Surface Combat System (CSCS) announced May 16 that it received a citation for training excellence from the American Society for Training & Development (ASTD). Capt. Don Schmieley, CSCS' commanding officer was informed by ASTD officials that the learning center was recognized with an Excellence in Organizational Learning and Performance Improvement citation for its Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) Advanced Warfare Training (AWT). "Being recognized by the ASTD is a remarkable achievement," said Schmieley. "I'm proud to be a part of this command. This recognition clearly illustrates the hard work and dedication of the entire CSCS domain." The Excellence in Practice Awards program recognizes organizations for results achieved through learning and performance practices and solutions. Awards are presented to organizations with proven practices that have delivered measurable results in achieving organizational goals. Citations are presented to organizations with practices that have shown they will demonstrate measurable results. According to Lt. Jonathan Zang, CSCS' AWT subject matter expert, the program was developed as a direct response to real world and national security threats. "The training and curriculum is designed to provide Sailors with the knowledge they need to defeat today's complex missile systems deployed throughout areas of current U.S. naval operations," explained Zang. "Course content is continually evolving to

meet the need of Sailors and improve naval readiness against a wide array of sophisticated weapons." ASTD received 160 submissions in 2011 from organizations around the world. Nineteen practices were chosen to receive awards and 63, which included CSCS, were selected to receive citations. Excellence in Practice categories included: career development, diversity and inclusion, integrated talent management, learning technologies, managing change, organizational learning, performance improvement, training management, technical training, and workplace learning and development. The CSCS headquarters' staff oversees 14 learning sites, which provides 1,000 courses a year to more than 50,000 Sailors. CSCS uses a mix of blended learning comprised of instructor led classes, hands on labs, simulation and computer-based training. Courses include specialized training supporting nine enlisted ratings, as well as training for officers in system-specific skills required to tactically operate and employ surface ships. Building maritime partnerships, the command also provides training to many international students. ASTD is the world's largest professional association dedicated to the training and development field. In more than 100 countries, ASTD's members work in organizations of all sizes, in the private and public sectors, as independent consultants, and as suppliers. Members connect locally in 128 U.S. chapters and with 20 international partners. ASTD started in 1943 and in recent years has widened the profession's focus to align learning and performance to organizational results. For more information, visit www.astd.org.
