The E-Learning Council was formed to advocate the value of training to the leaders of organizations, to provide resources for practitioners to create high quality E-Learning, and to encourage peer-to-peer interaction between the people who create E-Learning. Ms. Tedford embodies these goals. Ms. Tedford is the go to resource for the Texas Department of State Health Services for the creation of learning that improves performance. Indeed, she is often the go to resource for many organizations in Central Texas. She helped form the Lectora User Group. Ms. Tedford is a super connector for trainers, managers and practitioners
