About ATDChi

The Association for Talent Development, Chicagoland Chapter (ATDChi), has supported the Chicagoland talent development community since 1943. Today, we bring together hundreds of learning and development professionals through practical learning, meaningful programming, and a community that helps members feel connected, supported, and inspired—so they can bring new ideas back to their organizations and drive impact.

We’re proud of our history—and we’re looking ahead to celebrating a chapter centennial in the years ahead.

Our Vision

ATDChi is the premier community for workplace learning and performance professionals in the Midwest. We strive to have our professional development opportunities, services and leadership recognized throughout the United States.

Our Mission

Advancing and evolving the talent development profession through nurturing community, meaningful conversation, and driving organizational impact

ATDChi Strategic Priorities

    Deliver practical value members can use quickly by addressing the real challenges talent development teams face in their organizations.

    Strengthen community and connection by creating welcoming spaces for meaningful conversation, relationship-building, and shared learning.

    Leverage technology thoughtfully to engage members, share knowledge, and make it easy to access timely resources and opportunities.

    Stay future-focused by elevating trends, proven practices, and ideas that shape the talent development profession and workplace impact.

    Expand access and relevance across Chicagoland by increasing visibility and value for communities and organizations that have historically been underserved in workplace learning and performance.

    ATDChi is governed by its governing documents and board policies, aligned with ATD’s Chapter Affiliation Requirements (CARE).

    The chapter’s current Constitution was approved in September 2019.
