Aaron Whittenberger of Bluegrass IIBA Chapter said, "Astrevo will give us the opportunity to offer a different format of two to three hour workshop type training, as well as training on different topics than we have had in the past." Bluegrass recently surveyed the community on what type of training they wanted.

Insights from the Training Interest Survey

In May of this year, the Bluegrass IIBA Chapter was contacted by two training providers inquiring about our interest in partnering with them to provide their training courses to our community. To help with that decision the Board decided to send an interest survey to our community to see what training they are interested in receiving, if any. The survey went out to the community in June. We have the the results back and it show some very interesting insights.
