ABOUT THE SPEAKER

Malak Chabkoun — Director of Memberships 

If you’ve ever hung a picture and decided to go beyond eyeballing it, you might have used a tool called a level to make sure it was even. In my life as a learning and development professional, I like to think of myself as a human level: how do I design learning so that it’s right where it needs to be and lands in the best way possible for the audience?

In addition to experience as a trainer and in organizational development, I come from a research background and always try to bring the two skill sets together for the best learning and development outcomes. Other roles I hold include an adjunct professor in government at a local community college.

When I have some free time, I enjoy volunteering, reading, painting, hiking, plants, coffee, and spending time outdoors. I always look forward to the cooler weather for a better outdoor experience!
