We are thrilled to announce James Skee as our Volunteer of the Spring 2024 Quarter! James has served as a Certification Manager in the Multi-Chapter CPTD Study Group, helping to prepare our members to site for the CPTD exam.  In addition, he’s served on the Chapter Finance Committee since 2023, where he is developing visualizations to help the finance team clearly communicate the Chapter’s financial health. 

A Director of Learning & Development at NexusTek – a Managed Services Provider focusing on the mid-size market in North America – James chose to volunteer with ATD-OC not only to “give back to the Talent Development community, but also to apply the principles of L&D.” He views volunteering as a practical arena to leverage and expand his skills beyond his full-time role, embodying the true spirit of learning through service.

Connect with James at an upcoming Learning Event to explore how you can also invest in yourself and grow within our community. Or perhaps be inspired to follow a similar path of volunteerism and professional growth in our own journeys.
