About the Chapter Partnership Committee

The CPC is a volunteer committee appointed by the ISPI Board. The 2007-08 committee is led by Ron Ryan. If you would like to serve on the committee, send a message to Ron Ryan.

Purpose of the CPC
The CPC's charter is to maintain and strengthen communication between chapters, leaders, and the Society. The CPC provides guidance and serves as a liaison to forming chapters and charter chapters as they work to establish local networks in support of human performance technology.

Committee Goals: The committee works to:

• Facilitate communication between chapters and the Society.
  Do You Know publications (newsletter)
• Develop the leadership skills of local chapter leaders.
• Facilitate connections between and among chapters.
• Support the implementation of Society programs within local chapters.
• Help grow leadership from the chapter level that can become a pool of resources for Society leadership.
