TAG Learning and Development Team Earns Top 10 Recognition
CHICAGO - December 14, 2023 – The Aspen Group (TAG) Learning and Development Team has recently been recognized as a Top 10 L&D Team for 2023 by the prestigious OnCon Icon Awards. The accolade, bestowed by the public through a voting process, honors teams across four dimensions: impact of learning within the organization, contributions to the learning industry beyond the organization, demonstrated innovation and creativity in their approach to learning, and excellence in team leadership.
The award stands as a monumental achievement, underscoring the team’s unwavering dedication and commitment throughout the journey of launching The Aspen Group University (TAG U). This accomplishment is a testament to the team's relentless pursuit of excellence and signifies their significant impact on the organization.
“We are a few years into our journey to reimagine learning and position TAG as a world-class destination for development. To have the team’s impact on our learners and our broader learning industry recognized and celebrated in such a significant way is truly remarkable,” said Chrissie Leibman, SVP of Learning and Development and Dean of TAG U. “Although we still have so much more we want to continue to do to enable our teams across TAG, I am honored to lead such an incredible group of learning professionals and couldn’t be more proud of the impact their work makes every day in the lives of our learners.”
As part of TAG’s ongoing investment in their people, TAG U is a destination for learning focused on expanding professional and personal growth opportunities through world-class learning experiences. Fueled by innovation and technology, TAG U brings TAG team members from across the country together, in-person and virtually, for innovative continuing education and professional development courses designed to unlock their potential and encourage growth at every stage of their lives and careers.
The backbone of the TAG U learning brand is the exemplary Faculty and the entire Learning and Development team. Their dedication, expertise, and commitment to delivering a world-class learning experience have elevated TAG U into a realm of excellence, shaping the organization's future by nurturing talent and fostering continuous growth.
"At TAG, we talk about how the patient experience will never exceed that of the team member experience. It’s very simple: When you invest in people and give them the support that they need – the best tools, the best technology, the best facilities, the best faculty – not only do they excel professionally, but they feel personally fulfilled and engaged in their work,” said Bob Fontana, Founder and CEO of TAG. “Every time we make an investment back into our people, it pays off, and I’m extremely proud of our Learning and Development team for being such tireless champions for our providers and teams.”
