Leadership Academy is a prestigious, invitation only event for our local chapter members who currently volunteer or are interested in volunteering for the chapter.

This event gives you the opportunity to network with other chapter volunteers and leaders, and exposes you to current and future possibilities for volunteering.

Details of each volunteer area will be discussed by current leaders. They will also give a broader understanding of ATD and its role in the community.

This will be an action-packed day. One of the highlights will be an interactive session called How to Build a Team that Everyone Wants to Join by Leigh Ann Rodgers co-founder of Better Teams. This training will focus on the differences between “regular” teams and volunteer teams. You won’t want to miss it!

A full breakfast will be served along with lunch.

How can I get invited?

If you would like to attend the Leadership Academy, please reach out to President Elect, Dave Adelman at dadelman@leadstrat.com.

The Chapter is successful because of the commitment of time and effort by our volunteers, and we would like you to be a part of our success.

We look forward to seeing you there.
