We are proud to be a part of the Association for Talent Development (ATD) the world's largest training association.

National ATD has a remarkable supply of resources and offers relevant professional development opportunities such as certificate programs, conferences, and events. Our local chapter focuses on the needs of its local members by providing workshops and seminars on current trends and issues, opportunities to connect and share best practices, connecting employers and job-seekers, and much more.

Our membership programs and resources are based on the ATD Capability Model. When ATD conducted the in-depth, comprehensive study of the learning professional to develop this model, they were able to define, through the model, what Workplace Learning and Performance professionals needed to know and do to be successful. By basing our offerings on this model, we are able to focus developmental opportunities on research-based, strategically chosen areas of our profession.
