Membership in ATD Greater Atlanta offers four primary advantages: peer-led problem solving, continuous skill development, local networking, and professional portfolio building.

  • Solve the "Unsolvable": Access a brain trust of L&D veterans who have tackled your exact organizational challenges.

  • Stay Sharp: With the shelf life of skills shrinking, we provide the latest research and workshops to keep your expertise current.

  • Find Your People: We turn the massive Atlanta talent hub into a tight-knit community of practice.

  • Build Your Portfolio: Move beyond theory. Showcase your projects or pilot new workshops in a safe, supportive environment.

What is an ATD Power Member?

An ATD Power Member is a professional who maintains concurrent membership in both the ATD National organization and the ATD Greater Atlanta chapter. This "best of both worlds" status provides global research and certifications paired with local, boots-on-the-ground relationships.

The Value: When you join both entities simultaneously, you save $30 on national dues by using the ChIP code CH9047 at the ATD Store. This alignment ensures your renewal dates match and a portion of your dues supports local Atlanta programming.
