ATD Recognizes Six ATD Chapters in Its “Sharing Our Success” Program

Melville, NY, December 19, 2020 --(PR.com)-- The Long Island chapter of the Association for Talent Development (ATD), formerly ASTD, along with the ATD Eastern Pennsylvania, ATD Greater Philadelphia, ATD Northern New Jersey, ATD Mid New Jersey, and ATD New York City Chapters were recognized for their 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. While normally recognizing an individual chapter, this was the first SOS awarded to a group of chapters.

Jennifer Labrie Pereira, Chair of ATD’s Chapter Recognition Committee said, "This recognition honors these six chapters’ best practice that demonstrates their commitment to managing a successful organization as well as advancing the talent development profession at the local level. We are honored to recognize these chapters with ATD's SOS recognition."

The chapters were awarded this joint SOS for Partnering with Regional Sister Chapters to Expand Programming. Throughout 2020, the chapters collaborated on a Regional Webinar Series as a way to expand the number of programming offerings, increase the variety of talent development topics, and expand networking opportunities. These sessions also provided event speakers with larger audiences. With their success in 2020, the six ATD chapters are already planning their Regional Webinar Series for 2021.
