About the Central Florida Chapter of ASTD

What is ASTD-CFC? It’s hundreds of corporate learning professionals in the greater Orlando area, a part of the largest national organization dedicated to the advancement of corporate learning and performance for profit, non-profit, and government organizations.
The Central Florida Chapter of ASTD (CFC-ASTD) was founded in 1979 and chartered in 1982, and has grown to be the largest and most influential organization serving learning professionals in Central Florida.
CFC-ASTD’s mission statement is: Inform, Inspire, and Involve. Every initiative, event and activity our chapter invests in and supports one or more of these.

Target Audience

CFC-ASTD is the leader in providing workplace learning and performance programming to the Central Florida community! The Chapter celebrated it's 25th anniversary in 2007, and continues to be recognized as the premier opportunity for professionals to build their network and learn in support of their development!
Our chapter provides professional development services to over 700 workplace learning and performance professionals in Orange, Lake, Seminole, Volusia Counties. Members and associates of CFC-ASTD represent the major employers of Central Florida (e.g. Disney, Universal Studios, SeaWorld, Orange County Government, UCF, Florida Hospital, Martin Marietta) and many are small business owners with years of experience, specializing in learning and performance.
The members’ scope of workplace responsibility varies, including learning and performance, organizational development and human resources. In addition to being local members, nearly half of our members are also members of National ASTD.

Your training and development personnel will be exposed to the latest and best practices in corporate learning.
We offer sponsorship and advertisement plans to accommodate most any budget.

Event Sponsorship program

Members, Guests, and Vendors now have the opportunity to be even more involved in the regular monthly programs. By sponsoring a CFC-ASTD Event, you get to be a part of the excitement in a whole new way. Events are the lifeline of chapters like ours. However, they are also the greatest operating expense. Unfortunately, the larger and better the event, the more we are forced to charge to attend the event to offset the costs. In an effort to enhance the experience of attending a CFC-ASTD Event and still keep the attendee costs low, we have now agreed to offer the Event Sponsorship Program.

"One of the things that may get in the way of people being lifelong learners is that they’re not in touch with their passion. If you’re passionate about what it is you do, then you’re going to be looking for everything you can to get better at it."
