From the PACT Board of Directors |
 It Doesn’t Get Any Better Than This!
by Bob Nutting, PACT President (2008-2009)
I remember an Old Milwaukee beer commercial (hey, I grew up in Wisconsin) on TV where the narrator of the commercial ends the spot by declaring "It doesn't get any better than this." Well, the PACT board has not approved adult beverages at our member meetings (sorry), BUT we can make the same claim about the upcoming August Excellence Share in two months..
The 4th annual PACT Excellence Share on August 13th is sure to be another hit with our members and guests. We already have 11 commitments from speakers on topics that are relevant to many in our audience. Don't forget about the extra networking opportunities and the expanded menu of goodies at the refreshments table. We look forward to all of our sponsors returning to help us underwrite the cost-every sponsor felt they got great promotional value as well from our event. Contact Sherry Larson, the PACT Past President, to partner with PACT as a sponsor.

PACT Workshop (Co-sponsored with ASTD-TCC) |
More than 35 people participated in the workshop on Blended Learning given by Allison Rossett at International Market Square on Wednesday, May 19, 2010. The agenda of the day included discussions on what blended learning is, why it should be used, and the various models of blending including some especially "tasty" options.
The theme of moving knowledge from the classroom to wherever it is needed prevailed, and important concepts such as how best to structure the choices and mitigate the risks were explored. A key take-away is the need for giving learners guidance so as to direct them toward the information they need rather than having them roam without purpose or achieving results.
It was a pleasure to conduct this workshop in partnership with our friends at ASTD-TCC and PACT would like to especially thank Kristin Ford for her efforts in bringing this opportunity to everyone at PACT!
