ASTD (American Society for Training & Development) is an international association dedicated to workplace learning and performance professionals. ASTD's members come from more than 100 countries and connect locally in almost 140 U.S. chapters and 25 Global Networks. Members work in thousands of organizations of all sizes, in government, as independent consultants, and suppliers.
Organized in 1944, ASTD started when the organization held its first annual conference. ASTD has widened the profession's focus to link learning and performance to individual and organizational results, and is a sought-after voice on critical public policy issues.
Our local chapter is one of the strongest in the country with about 130 members. Many of these members are also part of the national organization.
Our members come from many industries: manufacturing, high technology firms, training, health care, professional firms, non-profit organizations, government, publishing, service companies and financial and educational institutions. Some members are independent consultants. More
