ATD’s Higher Education Community is a community of students, faculty, education leaders, and learning professionals collaborating to develop a stronger workforce. I represent ASTD in partnering with colleges and universities to provide access to the tools, resources, and support necessary for developing the future learning and development workforce. The ATD Higher Education Community provides the opportunity to align curricula and student goals to meet the requirements of the workplace, and builds community to facilitate student growth.ATD's 120+ chapters provide local networking and professional development opportunities for training, HRD, and performance improvement professionals across the United States. The leadership structure of these chapters varies widely and allows for numerous involvement options. I work with chapter leaders to plan the annual ATD Chapter Leaders Conference (ALC), provide resources for chapter engagement with students, and help chapters bring ATD Education certificate programs to their local area.
