As we look ahead to 2026, I’m excited to share two important updates with our ATD Pittsburgh community: the announcement of our incoming Board of Directors and a Save the Date for a special half-day learning experience we’re bringing to Pittsburgh.
First, it’s my pleasure to introduce the 2026 ATD Pittsburgh Board of Directors. This group represents an incredible depth of talent, experience, and commitment to our mission of advancing the profession of talent development across the Greater Pittsburgh region.
