What is Power Membership?

ATD national membership connects you to a global network of like-minded peers and provides you with a wealth of resources to help you identify solutions to the talent development challenges you're facing. Chapter membership provides you with local resources and a community that understands your work from a regionally specific perspective. When you are an ATD national and chapter member, you become a Power Member.

Why Join?

ATD national membership offers talent development professionals like you a unique opportunity to tap into a community of local, national, and international members. They learn about trends in the field (locally and globally); access ATD national's practical, ready-to-use tools, templates, and checklists; and stay on top of cutting-edge research. As a Power Member, you will have access to the most essential resources that you can put into practice locally through chapter membership, which will allow you to have a considerable impact on your organization, your community, and your professional development. Not only will you receive ATD's national benefits outlined below, but you'll enjoy all the benefits of your local ATD chapter and build on your knowledge as you grow your network.

Unparalleled Professional Development

Need to hone your instructional design skills? Is your company launching into mobile learning? ATD members benefit from discounts on premier professional development, including workshops, certificate programs, and our Master Series assessment programs. No other organization offers the kind of professional development geared specifically to the needs of today’s talent development professionals.

Extensive Tools and Resources

Need a template to manage your training projects? Trying to figure out the cost of developing a curriculum? Maybe you’re looking for a quick job aid or deeper insights from an industry leader? Members have access to practical tools, templates, and more that they can immediately implement within their organization.

Cost Savings

The dollar value of both the Professional and Professional Plus membership levels are double and triple the yearly dues. What this means is that the access to content and discounts members enjoy are worth substantially more than the cost of membership. Investing in your own professional development through a cost-effective ATD membership will pave the way to growing your own knowledge and skills, and increasing your value to your organization.

Cutting-Edge Research and Insight

ATD keeps its members up-to-date on the latest industry trends, resources, and best practices through newsletters, webcasts, blogs, and much more. Members receive a monthly copy of TD magazine, ATD’s award winning publication that keeps you updated on leading-edge content from the industry’s most sought-after thought leaders. Members can also benchmark their organization’s training practices against those of the industry’s best through the State of the Industry report, ATD’s definitive yearly review of training and development trends.

By joining ATD, you will be exposed to more ideas, more knowledge sharing, and more best practices from industry leaders and experts—ideas you can bring back and implement in your own work.
