Association for Talent Development

Mission

To design, develop, and deliver programs that benefit chapter members and the community at large.

To provide products and services which enhance members' knowledge and skills in the fields of talent development.

To be the Chattanooga Area resource for best practices in learning and performance through leadership.

Program Types

Learning Events

These are typically one-hour presentations taking place during monthly mid-day chapter meetings. There is a two-tier pricing structure with one price for members and another for guests. A lunch is typically included in the cost. There are opportunities to network built into the first part of the event.

Workshops

These events are typically anywhere from several hours to one or more full days in length and are significantly costlier than the monthly one-hour learning events. Certifications and/or certificates of completion are typically offered.

Networking Events/ After Hours

Targeted toward talent development professionals (and business professionals overall) in the community who find it difficult to break away mid-day for a learning event, these events can be held in evenings or mornings to give more time for social interaction and networking. Costs for these events are often minimal.

Community Service Events

Strictly done on a volunteer basis as a community service and to raise community awareness of the chapter's existence, purpose, and goals.
