Hello everyone:
I just wanted to forward this along-- next month's meeting is a little
earlier than usual. Hope to see you there now that I can tell the
whole story of our assessments!

-------------------------
The next ILTA/Bay Area Legal Trainers Organization meeting will be
held on March 13, 2008 with a presentation titled Training Results You
Can Measure: Why Conducting Secretarial Skills Assessments Is Worth
Your Effort. Please see the agenda below for more details.
If you have colleagues in other firms or others within your own firm
who share your interest in this topic, please invite them to attend
with you. Non-members are always welcome at our events, and we're
hopeful they'll learn a little bit about ILTA from the experience.
There is no cost to attend, and there is much to be gained. Tell a
friend about the ILTA meeting!

SAN FRANCISCO AREA MEETING
Topic: Training Results You Can Measure: Why Conducting
Secretarial Skills Assessments Is Worth Your Effort?
Date: March 13, 2008
12:00 pm - 1:30 pm
* Beverages will be served, but please bring your own lunch
Location: Bingham McCutchen
Three Embarcadero Center
28th Floor
San Francisco, CA 94111
Host: Corby Guenther, (415) 393-2027
corby.g...@bingham.com
Target Audience: Training Managers, Trainers, User Support Managers,
User Support Personnel, HR Managers, Secretarial Managers, Firm
Administrators
Description: The process of planning and conducting secretarial
skills assessments can be long and painful. You need to figure out
exactly what skills you want to measure, determine what kind of
assessment you are going to use and deal with the emotions of
employees who are understandably anxious about the idea that they are
going to be "tested." But handled correctly, skills assessments can
provide a huge benefit to your training program by giving you hard
data about which skills your employees have already mastered and
whether the training you provide is effective. Corby Guenther will
speak about his experience conducting a series of assessments and
explain why he believes that skills assessments are worth the
substantial effort involved. Following up on a presentation he gave
last year after his firm's first round of assessments, Corby will talk
about how they handled follow-up training and conducted their second
round of assessments. He'll even share some aggregate results with you
to show you what kind of a difference assessments can make.
Presenter: Corby Guenther has been involved in teaching and
training his entire adult life. He has been at Bingham McCutchen
since 1998 and is currently the firm's Senior Technology Training and
Development Manager. He is also the organizer of the Bay Area Legal
Trainers Organization http://groups.google.com/group/baltorg?hl=en.
When he's not at work he chooses to spend much of his time with
plants.
Thanks,
