The Association for Talent Development (ATD), formerly ASTD, is the world’s largest association dedicated to those who develop talent in organizations. These professionals help others achieve their full potential by improving their knowledge, skills, and abilities.

The Chattanooga Area Chapter was established in 1969. Our members work in healthcare, manufacturing, education, consulting, management, and many more fields - all with talent development priorities.

The local Chattanooga Area Chapter provides you with professional development and networking opportunities. We meet monthly to learn, share, and network. We host workshops and educational programs a few times each year so you can become certified in various talent development skills and techniques.
