2019 AHRD International Research Conference in the Americas February 13-16, 2019 | Louisville, Kentucky, U.S.A. 1 Ideas & New Connections Welcome from the President On behalf of the AHRD Board of Directors and Conference Team, I extend greetings and a welcome to the 2019 AHRD Internation Research Conference in the Americas. We’re glad you are here! This year’s conference marks the end of our 25th anniversary year, and what a year it has been! Our four journals continue to be led by committed editors, associate editors, and editorial boards, we affiliate with HRD colleagues in other parts of this wonderful world to engage in conferences in Europe (with the University Forum for HRD) and Asia (the AHRD Conference in Asia), and groups within our group, such as our Special Interest Groups, facilitate professional development opportunities throughout the year. The Academy of Human Resource Development is a professional organization of HRD scholars and scholar practitioners, and we create and maintain structured and systematic mechanisms for research and scholarship to flourish. This annual conference is a signature pathway designed to foster HRD research. As an applied field, it is important that research link or inform practice, and that our research address challenges and opportunities that benefit from our work. I invite you to get the most from your conference experience. Of course, you’ll attend symposia that align with your interests, career, and professional objectives—but I hope you’ll reach beyond those areas to connect with people and ideas that stretch you. With 130 manuscripts and 79 posters across nine tracks, the peer-reviewed research has depth and breadth.
