What is Power Membership?  ATD membership provides the tools you need for success. Local Chapter membership connects Talent Development professionals locally and applies those tools to your organization and community. With a local and national membership, you are a Power Member!

When you join your local chapter and national ATD, you choose to be knowledge leaders in the talent development profession and change makers in your own backyard. Joint membership offers learning professionals a unique opportunity to connect local, national, and international professionals. Joint members can learn about trends in the field, and gain access to research, principles, practices, and templates they can apply directly to impacting organizational results, their community, and advancing their career. With a joint membership, you also gain access to a national job bank, discussion forums, training publications, exclusive research, searchable training databases, and discounts on conferences, credentials and tools.

Combined local and national membership is discounted.
