Presentation Title Subhead Can Be Placed Here
Our name has changed but our chapter remains
the same.
On May 6, 2014 at the ASTD International Conference &
Exposition, ASTD announced that it is changing its name to
the Association for Talent Development (ATD).
Why the Change?
ASTD was first created as the American Society of Training
Directors. ASTD’s founders wanted to raise the standards and
prestige of the training profession and to further the education
and development of those responsible for training others.
We have continued to build on that for 70 years.
The purpose of our profession – developing the talents, skills, and
abilities of people – has remained constant the scope and impact
of the field has grown beyond our founders’ wildest dreams.
Why Now?
The world has changed dramatically over seven decades and our
profession has too. We are changing to represent and support the
change and development of the field, and the tremendous global
impact of the profession.
How Was This Decision Made?
The impact of our members’ work stretches far beyond training
and includes many facets – the 10 Areas of Expertise in our
Competency Model is one example.
Reviewing many years of information, input, feedback, and
analysis on the field’s changes, and data gathered from all over
the world, guided the change.
What’s the Impact on Members and Customers?
Your membership benefits remain the same, and your online
experience to access your member benefits and content will be
seamless with the switch to our new name. In the coming months
you will receive a new membership card with the ATD name and
logo.
Will My Local ASTD Chapter Change?

during the next year.
