The evening started with a city proclamation, read by Ayesha Graves, Deputy Assistant to the Mayor, declaring the day as ATSD Nebraska Chapter Day, followed by Frank Goodell, 1964-65 ASTD Nebraska President and a founding member, recounting special memories from the beginning years. Jonathan Gerstner, ASTD Area Manager (Eastern USA), passed on congratulations to the chapter for reaching the 50 year milestone from National. Dave Arch, the evening’s emcee, had everyone mingling and learning new trivia about ASTD and ASTD Nebraska. These were just a few special guests that were a part of the celebration.

It wasn’t just another awards ceremony that occurred on Thursday, November 10, 2005, as many members realized; it was a special celebration of our chapter’s growth and accomplishment, which honored our past, recognized our present and looked towards our future.

Congratulations to all the winners and to all who were nominated. The success of our chapter is directly related to your contributions and support.

It truly was an affair to be remembered.
