Greetings from the President

Welcome to the USDLA Family!
We are an amazing group of talented professionals who network and share best practices from all distance learning constituencies, including telehealth, preK-12, Higher Education, Corporate Training, Military, Home Schoolers, Continuing Education and Government.  Please join us to network, share your expertise as well as learn from some of the best! Our talented members and amazing board members have been active in the distance learning world for over thirty years and we are a community you will want to meet!

I first met USDLA back in 1996 at the annual TELECON/USDLA Conference in L.A.  It was a huge conference for the videoconferencing world and hosted the annual national meeting for USDLA.  There was also a small corner of the exhibit hall named “Telemed” which later grew into another International organization that embraces distance learning: The American Telemedicine Association.  My area of expertise is in telehealth and I worked with a great group of folks like me in the ATA to develop a special interest group that included us: distance learning experts.  As your USDLA President, I will work hard to continue developing relationships with other organizations of like-minded people.  Like the CLO’s Chief Learning Officers organization we learned about this year at our national conference, PATH: the Partnership for Artificial Intelligence, Automation and Robotics in Healthcare and others.

USDLA is now over 30 years old and we just finished producing our annual conference in Nashville.  We have an excellent board of directors and we are all looking forward to a really great year. USDLA was built by the hard work of many and we look forward to producing a variety of educational opportunities for and by the folks who are USDLA. We are a lot like the United Nations of the distance learning world and we have so much to share.  If you are not currently a member please do join us. The United States Distance Learning Association looks forward to meeting you – virtually – and soon!

Janet Major
2019-20 USDLA President
