About Me-Bio
Throughout his career, Paul has gained experience across diverse industries, managing learning technology teams, leading LMS implementations like SuccessFactors, and designing a variety of learning programs. His foundation in this field was solidified by earning a Human Performance Technology certificate from Brandman University, and he's since earned an ATD Master Instructional Designer - eLearning certificate from ATD National.
Look for Paul at an ATD Orange County meeting, where he is an active leader for the organization. Paul works to ensure the Chapter exemplifies what the talent development industry has to offer. He's experimented with ways to activate virtual learning, created project-based experiential learning for the Training and Technology Special Interest Group, and most recently branched into the Marcom function.
You may find him in other places where learning and development enthusiasts congregate: he is a 2019 Learning Solutions presenter, co-facilitating a discussion on the application of online resources to support a synchronous blended learning environment and has coordinated virtual networking sessions between all three Southern California ATD Chapters.

Professional Experience
Service Description
Paul Venderley joined ATD-Orange County because someone was networking, and had cued him into a vibrant organization devoted to the professional development of trainers just like him. He admits to treating his professional membership as he treats his gym membership for a few years, but a call to action from the VP of Communications activated his membership in 2005, and he hasn't looked back since then.
Paul has viewed ATD-Orange County as the keystone for his professional development and has advocated using Chapter resources as a source of information for those seeking to further themselves in this vibrant career. However, he's realized that learning how to improve one's training skills isn't enough to maintain the viability of a professional organization -- we must do more, especially in a day where the catch-phrase is: "In today's economy..."
Paul seeks to expand the viability of our professional network to create opportunities for our members to practice what they learn -- to do something that adds to their resume through experience and measurable accomplishment. There's a lot this chapter has to offer each one of us. Ask one of us to learn what that is!
