|  Lynn Nissen
In 2021 Lynn significantly helped the chapter deliver excellent programs to its members in a difficult year where everything was online. There was no one to run programs in 2021, and that put at risk the chapter monthly learning events, but Lynn stepped up and took on the VP Programs role for the entire year in addition to being the chapter President Elect. She built a team of program managers, providing leadership that reflected positively on the chapter, and consistently delivered an event once a month that aligned with the ATD capability model. Lynn demonstrated true commitment to the chapter, its members, the BOD and also to ATD national. |
