ASTD is the world’s largest association dedicated to workplace learning and performance professionals. ASTD’s members come from more than 100 countries and work in thousands of organizations of all sizes, in government, as independent consultants, and suppliers.

ASTD's Best Awards Report notes, "Organizations only make it to the ranks of the BEST if they can demonstrate excellence in several of these areas: alignment, Clevel involvement, efficiency, effectiveness, innovation, investment in learning, learning opportunities for employees, measurement of the effectiveness of learning, and success with nontraining solutions to business needs." Apparently, those characteristics have been exhibited by Equity Residential every year since ASTD created the award in 2003.

Congratulations Equity on your fifth ASTD Best Award!

The 2007 ASTD BEST Awards were presented October 2, 2007, at a ceremony in Washington, D.C. Forty-two organizations from Canada, India, South Africa, and the United States received BEST Awards.
