Selected recipients will be recognized at the Annual Dinner and published on this site.

As a recipient of the VT-ATD Professional Development Fund, I am grateful for the completion of the Train-the-Trainer course with Joy Conley Kacik. My story is simple, maybe similar to others, seeking employment in VT and within Organizational Development takes time! The (TTT) certification has refreshed and enhanced my skills, and supported my confidence to get back in front of the room doing what I most enjoy. Since I have taken this course, and during this interim time of continuing to seek work in OD, I have used the skills and knowledge to show up as a Substitute Teacher at Winooski Schools. May I reiterate how I appreciate Joy for her clarity, connection, and caring during this course.
