BNA Communications Inc. Now a Division of LearnCom
"BNAC's outstanding library of compliance courseware provides an excellent fit with LearnCom's focus on executive education. The BNAC courses will play an important "content" role in the development of LearnCom's portal website – www.trainersgold.com which is scheduled to go online in March 2000," said Lloyd Singer, President and CEO of LearnCom. Said Robert Velte, Vice-President of Corporate Development of BNA, "We believe that LearnCom's exclusive focus on the training market and its technological know-how provide an excellent opportunity to continue the growth of BNAC in an entrepreneurial setting." "LearnCom's technological expertise together with our subject matter experts will provide a world of new possibilities for delivering BNAC solutions to our clients," said Julie Pierce Williams, Vice President/General Manager of BNAC's Consulting Group.
This year, BNAC celebrates its 50th anniversary and its continued recognition as a leading provider of human resource solutions. In 1999, BNAC's latest diversity workshop, Diverse Communications: Investing in Relationships, received a CINDY Gold Award, a CINE Golden Eagle Award and Top 10 Training Product honors from Human Resource Executive magazine. It's latest employment law workshop, Jack Cade's Nightmare III: Caught In The Crossfire (Introductory Guide to Performance Management) won a CINDY Silver Award. BNAC will continue to be headquartered in Metropolitan Washington DC, but core operating services will be provided by LearnCom's corporate staff from its Bensenville, IL headquarters. BNAC will also be changing its name to LearnCom, Inc. HR Consulting and Training later this year.
