President’s Message ISPI SoCal is an all-volunteer organization of professionals focused on the interactions between Artificial Intelligence (AI), Learning and development (L&D), and Performance Improvement (PI). Are you interested? We hold 3 or 4 interactive one-hour Zoom meetings each month on those topics and other things that interest us. We continually sharpen our skills with the added bonus of networking with new people – like you, for example! We hope you consider joining us. (Our $40.00 yearly membership includes free attendance at all our meetings.) As Humphrey Bogart's character, Rick Blaine, says at the end of the movie Casablanca, "This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship”. |
