ATD’s purpose is the development of human potential. We value the rightful dignity and social equity of any individual or group.

ATD Piedmont is the leading professional association for linking people, learning and performance.

The ATD Piedmont Chapter’s mission is to meet the needs of training and development professionals from all segments of the field for professional development, leadership, networking, and fellowship, and to serve as a learning resource to our communities.

ATD Piedmont Chapter programs and workshops are a non-commercial forum. Presenters refrain from the use of brand names and specific products endorsements whenever practical. Under no circumstances is the society podium used as a place for direct promotion of a presenter’s product, service or monetary self-interest. Instances involving non-compliance with these principles should be referred in writing directly to the Chapter President for review and appropriate action.
