Greetings ATD Pittsburgh Members,

As we enter the warmer months, I want to take a moment to share some exciting opportunities and reminders that will help you stay connected, continue learning, and make the most of your ATD membership.

Attend a Coffee & Connection Networking Today!

One of the best ways to grow as a professional is by connecting with others in your field. Our Coffee & Connection networking events provide a relaxed, informal setting to meet fellow talent development professionals, share ideas, and build valuable relationships. These monthly events are designed to help you grow your network, exchange insights, and hear about new trends in the industry. Whether you're a seasoned professional or new to the field, these events are a fantastic way to gain fresh perspectives and strengthen your professional community.

Summer: Time to Learn Something New

The summer months are the perfect opportunity to take a step back from your busy schedule and focus on personal and professional growth. ATD offers a wealth of resources, from webinars to workshops, that can help you stay ahead in the rapidly evolving world of talent development. Use this time to explore new topics, dive deeper into areas that interest you, or gain skills that can advance your career. The beauty of summer is that it gives us a chance to pause and invest in ourselves, so let’s make the most of it!

The Benefits of Being an ATD Power Member

If you're not already a Power Member, now is the perfect time to consider upgrading your membership. Power Membership offers a wide range of benefits, including access to exclusive resources, premium events, and a network of professionals from across the globe. With the additional tools and opportunities available to Power Members, you’ll be better equipped to tackle industry challenges and stay at the forefront of innovation. The value of this membership goes far beyond just attending events—it’s about being part of a global community committed to continuous learning and development. I’m excited about the opportunities ahead for all of us this summer, and I encourage you to make the most of these events and resources. Together, we’ll continue to grow as talent development professionals and strengthen our chapter's impact on the community.

I look forward to seeing you at our next Coffee and Connection event or engaging with you through one of our many learning opportunities. Let’s keep the momentum going and make the most of everything ATD Pittsburgh has to offer!

Stay connected, and let’s make 2024 our best year yet!

Warm regards,

Dana Whatley Smith

President, ATD Pittsburgh
