What a summer we’re having! We’ve been so busy! AXIOM is proud to announce that 6 members of our leadership team have passed the CPTM test and are now officially Certified Professional Training Managers! We did it! Congratulations to Herb, Peter, Brad, Tammy, Stacy and Jason. Way to go! 
This was a tough class but we really enjoyed it. Read about it here!
As you know, AXIOM is very involved with ATD and are members of several chapters. We’re thrilled to pass on a bit of good news that the ATD Bay Colonies Chapter (of which Peter is a board member) has won 2 awards!
- Chapter of the Month for August 2017
- A spot to present at the 2017 ATD Chapter Leaders Conference, October 12-14 in Arlington, Virginia
Why did they win? 
Among other reasons, the The Bay Colonies chapter submitted a Sharing Our Success (SOS) best practice for your “VP Strategy Role for Past President”. The Chapter Recognition Committee was impressed with this submission because chapters are always looking for ways to engage past presidents. This submission definitely a best practice. Nice work!
Congratulations Bay Colonies Chapter!!

On a personal note, Tammy and Peter are representing AXIOM as our current in-house athletes! Tammy finished the WOO Challenge last weekend; it’s 4 miles and 18 obstacles and she did it in an hour and 12 minutes! WOW!
Peter is training hard for the PanMass Challenge on August 5 and 6. Consider donating! AXIOM will be chipping in as well, we’re proud to be associated with such a great event! 
There’s a lot going on this summer with AXIOM, let us know what you’re up to!
