MADISON, Wis.— Talent development leader CUES is celebrating Learning & Development month, which is in October in the U.S., with activities designed to help members enhance skills and achieve their professional development goals.
Members can start by downloading a 31-day Learning & Development month challenge; there is one version each for staff and board members. Participants will also find tools designed to help them easily share the learning they’re focusing on social media, member stories to inspire, and great content.
The celebration will culminate during the first-ever CUES Member Appreciation & Awards Event, happening October 21 online.
Sarah Thomas, the NFL’s first female official, will kick things off with her presentation, Breaking Through: My Journey to Becoming the First Female NFL Official.
