At Goldmark Property Management, we take pride in our team’s commitment to growth. We’re excited to highlight Angela Jallo’s leadership in the Learning and Development community. As the Vice President of Programming Administration for the North Dakota Association for Talent Development (NDATD), Angela, Learning and Development Consultant at Goldmark, is dedicated to fostering professional growth, enhancing learning opportunities, and driving innovation.
Her work with NDATD has played a vital role in expanding educational initiatives, strengthening industry partnerships, and creating opportunities for meaningful collaboration. Through her leadership, Angela is shaping the future of professional development by introducing innovative programs and providing valuable resources to learning and development professionals.
We spoke with Angela to learn more about her role, her passion for Learning and Development, and how NDATD’s work aligns with Goldmark’s commitment to growth. Check out our Q&A below to hear her insights on leadership, industry trends, and the exciting initiatives ahead!
Q: What is your responsibility as VP of Programming Administration for NDATD?
Angela: I am responsible for collaborating closely with other board members and managing the technical aspects of programming. My role includes setting up virtual and in-person event registrations, coordinating outgoing communications, and analyzing data and analytics.
Q: What inspired you to get involved with NDATD?
Angela: When I was new to Learning and Development, I happened to meet someone in a similar role within the insurance industry. She introduced me to this organization, and I was instantly hooked! Through this group, I’ve connected with incredible professionals who are just as passionate about their work as I am. I’ve been involved for several years, and this is my second term as a board member. During my first term as VP of Special Events, I had the privilege of organizing virtual and in-person conferences, bringing in national speakers, and creating opportunities for people to come together. Being part of this organization has been such a rewarding experience. It’s given me the chance to connect with Learning and Development professionals across different industries, exchange insights, and continue growing in this field I love.
Q: What are your goals while in this position?
Angela: This is my second term on the board in a new role, and it’s exciting to see one of my previous goals already coming to life with new programs launching this quarter. My biggest goal this term is to connect with other chapter leaders, find new ways to grow and expand what we offer to our local community and create a great experience for our members.
Q: How do you see NDATD’s work aligning with Goldmark’s commitment to employee growth and development?
Angela: Both organizations emphasize proactive leadership, professional growth, and knowledge sharing. The chapter is dedicated to keeping members ahead of industry trends, advancing skills through education, and fostering collaboration among professionals.
Q: What advice would you give to others interested in getting involved in professional development organizations like NDATD?
Angela: Go for it and get involved! So many professional development organizations let you join programs or meetings at no or little cost to see if they’re the right fit—so why not give it a try? Even if you don’t know anyone yet, it’s a great way to meet new people and learn from their experiences. We grow the most when we step outside our comfort zones, and you never know who you’ll meet or what insights you’ll gain unless you put yourself out there.
Q: Are there any upcoming NDATD initiatives or events that you’re particularly excited about?
Angela: This quarter, we are launching Community of Practice (COP) groups, meeting in person in Fargo. Additionally, I am co-leading a virtual book club focused on Learning and Development topics, providing a space for engaging discussions among avid readers.
