Sharing our Success

Oct. 3, 2017 - The Chattanooga Area Chapter of the Association for Talent Development (ATD), formerly ASTD, was recognized for its submission to the ATD “Sharing Our Success” (SOS) program. The national SOS program identifies best practices among local ATD chapters and uses them as models for other chapters.

Jeffrey Gehris, Chair of ATD’s Chapter Recognition Committee said, "This recognition honors the Chattanooga Area Chapter’s best practice that demonstrates its commitment to managing a successful organization as well as advancing the talent development profession at the local level. We are excited to honor the chapter with ATD's SOS recognition."

The Chattanooga chapter recently launched an initiative whereby the Chapter President hosted a monthly check-in call to update on progress and handle any outlying issues. The chapter has also been recognized for their use of forms to vet new potential board members. These two initiatives join a third chapter recognition just this year, as the chapter also was celebrated for their implementation of a Slack channel for chapter officers.
