| HISTORY |
| |
| It began as a vision. |
| |
| A core group of visionary leaders representing their respective organizations from 12 countries met in Manila on 09 November 1974 for the First Asian Regional Training and Development Organization (ARTDO) Conference. A shared vision and a call to action brought them together: To promote human resource development – a pre-condition to economic growth and progress - - through a unified approach |
| |
| That historic meeting led to the founding of ARTDO as a regional umbrella body of training and development organizations in the Asia-Pacific region. It has since covered a series of record-breaking milestones. |
| |
| In 1998 during its Silver Jubilee Convention in New Delhi, India, a decision was made to recognize and ratify what was already an accomplished fact: that ARTDO International membership base has expanded beyond its traditional border. ARTDO has become global in scope while retaining an Asian perspective. |
| |
| Thus, ARTDO has metamorphosed into ARTDO International. Today it is an international umbrella body with membership comprising national organizations, educational institutes, multi-national corporations, public and private enterprises, HR management specialists from well over 30 countries worldwide. |
| |
| And ARTDO International does not stop there. It continues to expand rapidly and relentlessly pursues its original vision to advance human development and well-being. |
