Introducing ATDChi by Greg Owen-Boger, 2015 President, ATDChi | ATDChi News | Scoop.it

Did you hear the news? In May, ASTD changed its name to the Association for Talent Development (ATD) in order to broaden the organization’s scope and to better reflect the nature of our evolving industry.

 

Over the next few weeks CCASTD will be doing the same. One of the first things you will notice is the transition to our new name: the Association for Talent Development, Chicagoland Chapter (ATDChi). We’ll also begin rolling out our new brand identity beginning with our new chapter logo. The plan is to be completely transitioned by January 1, 2015.

 

What’s Not Changing?

While our name may be changing, the ATDChi’s board of directors wants to assure you the local programming, networking, and services you have come to value and enjoy through the chapter will not change, nor will the chapter’s mission and vision. If anything, we have renewed energy and will work tirelessly to maintain or improve the quality of our services. Like national ATD, training and development will remain at the core of our chapter, and we pledge our service and commitment to you is stronger than ever.

 

We will continue to keep you abreast of our change, and look forward to having you join us on this journey; together, we are creating a world that works better!
