The learning profession lost a champion this week, and on behalf of the staff and membership of the Association for Talent Development, formerly ASTD, I offer our sincere condolences on the death of Norm Kamikow. As the founder and editor in chief of MediaTec Publishing, he was an important voice for the learning profession and a passionate advocate for those who are committed to developing the knowledge, skills, and abilities of employees.

Our thoughts are with the Kamikow family and our colleagues at MediaTec Publishing.
