· Discover the five common types of resistors to adaptability and change blockers
· Create a plan of action to assess opportunity for positive change

If your chapter lives in its own ATD bubble with little to no engagement with complementary organizations, you're missing out on the benefits of partnership. As an active chapter leader, you may also belong to several professional organizations because you see that they complement your professional goals and both add value to you. Wouldn't it be great if your local chapter was described as a great talent development partner to other organizations? During this session you will identify what type of organizations are complementary to your ATD chapter and why partnering with them, in numerous ways, helps the cause of talent development. You'll also get an opportunity to list some of your chapter's strategic goals and brainstorm how complementary organizations can assist you in reaching those goals. Most importantly, you'll construct why partnering with your chapter is attractive to other other organizations.

By the end of this session, you will be able to:
· Identify the meaning of complementary to give a foundation of the type of organizations ATD chapters could partner with
· Explain why partnering with local and state complementary organizations can further ATD's mission (empower professionals to develop talent in the workplace) and add value to the partnering organizations

· Construct their chapter's specific value adds to attract partnerships with local organizations

Answer honestly: Is your chapter small, working on establishing itself in your local community, or maybe even struggling a bit with basic operations? If so, you’re not alone. Discuss best practices with your small chapter peers and a chapter leader who has distilled many big chapters’ strategies into bite-sized approaches that simply work better in smaller settings. During this session you’ll identify your goals for next year, walk away with a cheat sheet of ideas, and breathe a sigh of relief by knowing that others share your small chapter struggles and successes.

By the end of this session, you will be able to:
· Develop a reference sheet listing the top ten best practices to improve and strengthen your chapter’s operations
· Discuss strategic leadership practices with your peers
· Write an action plan to implement the top ten best practices after ALC

Strategic planning can offer an array of advantages for chapter boards. It can be a bonding exercise for board members and provide direction for resources throughout the year. Often, it may take half the year to craft and implement, and then we start all over again in December with alternate priorities and goals from a new board. This session will take the ordinary, annual strategic plan to a new level. Join members of the Nashville chapter board as we share our story of transitioning from annual themes and goals to a multiyear strategic plan that will provide prioritization and goals for chapter operations, programming, member experience, and other key areas for years to come. We will discuss purpose, concepts, systems, implementation, and lessons learned from a robust strategic plan, and how the board prioritizes and assigns responsibilities for strategic objectives on a quarterly basis. Finally, we will share how the Nashville chapter board has used its strategic plan as part of our board operations culture. Using provided templates, participants will also have an opportunity to begin creating their own plans and scorecards throughout the session, so you are able to take all the great information from ALC and begin your chapter’s strategic planning success.

By the end of this session, you will be able to:
· Differentiate between the advantages of a multiyear versus a single-year plan

The goal of this session is to help chapter leaders gain an awareness of their current social media engagement levels as a result of their marketing efforts. Through the use of LinkedIn and other chapter analytics, you will develop a strategy for communication using video and design a cadence for your posts. Video communication is key to increasing an awareness of your upcoming programs, speaker spotlights, membership benefits, and special announcements. Find out how ATD Nebraska doubled its social media engagement levels and gained 24 new followers in the first two weeks of implementing its strategy.

By the end of this session, you will be able to:
· Identify the most important engagement analytics for your chapter and establish benchmarks
· Evaluate how the analytics align with your current chapter engagement goals

To ensure the viability and longevity of any organization, it must have tangible resources coming in to support its operations. Most importantly, those resources must be documented, accounted for, and properly reported to ensure the chapter is abiding to ATD’s requirements as well as, local and national laws. If you need to stand up or revitalize your chapter’s finance program, this class is for you. Join us as “Show Me the Money!” is a calling to all board members that the chapter’s finances must be in order.

By the end of this session, you will be able to:
· Explain the purpose of the chapter’s finance position to include the requirements as indicated from the Association of Talent Development’s (ATD) CARE program

2020 has shown us the importance of giving. Many chapters engage their members in important charitable activities every year, such as by collecting gently used professional clothing to donate to job seekers or canned goods for food banks. These are wonderful efforts that provide valuable services any organization can do to give back to the community. What if ATD could do more? In 2018, ATD South Carolina Midlands took our local nonprofit partnership to the next level, offering members a chance to give back to the community using their talent development skills. Join us to learn how we developed a model to give back by teaching skills that help disadvantaged groups help themselves while promoting awareness of talent development as a profession.

By the end of this session, you will be able to:
· Analyze local nonprofit community for partnership opportunities based on ATD's mission and member skills

Are you cool, calm, and collected when it comes to your virtual events? Is your chapter fully achieving its mission to bring relevant and engaging learning topics to its chapter members? The ATD Houston and ATD San Antonio chapters were on a path to carry out this mission when 2020 brought in a new and never-seen-before challenge. Oil and gas price wars and COVID-19 threw the economy into turmoil and left a large portion of the talent development community without jobs. Our chapter members were affected immensely by this. A downturn in the oil and gas market was not historically new to the energy sector; however, it had never occurred during a pandemic. ATD Houston and ATD San Antonio’s stances were to place their members first. The decision was made to offer no-cost events during this unprecedented time of need. ATD Houston’s program and Geographic Interest Group (GIG)/Special Interest Group (SIG) along with ATD San Antonio's programs groups collaborated within their chapters to build a calendar of events that were timely and coordinated so that members could take advantage of as many events as possible. These events were thoughtfully and strategically planned and executed, using the ATD Capability model to provide reflection, restoration, and a way forward in a time of crisis and personal sacrifice.

By the end of this session, you will be able to:
· Define the process the chapters followed to convert events from in-person to virtual
· Identify internal and external programs, groups, marketing teams, and budget considerations needed for collaboration

Have you ever found yourself saying, “I wish I would have known that” after the fact? What would you go back and say to yourself as you were starting out? People learn from past experiences, and at some point you have probably heard the phrase, “You don’t know what you don’t know.” That doesn’t have to be your reality when it comes to starting your first year on the ATD board or in a new role. Past presidents from the Central Iowa chapter as well as current board members Stacy Alexander (president) and Amy Boyce (president elect) will share their experiences on what they wished they would have known stepping into their roles on the board through a “letter to my past self.” Come join the fun as you will be able to leave the session with your own letter.

By the end of this session, you will be able to:
· Introduce participants to the institutional knowledge and the benefits of creating a past presidents council
· Debrief video of Central Iowa past presidents experiences while identifying “feed-forward” items for their personal letter

ATD chapters face various challenges, like the recent global pandemic, which have tested their ability to continue to serve members and promote ATD’s mission. However, ATD Central Florida chapter (ATDCFL) was not heavily impacted by social distancing restrictions due to its active social media presence through a weekly vlog, podcast, and LinkedIn page. These social media content strategies can future-proof your chapter, become additional revenue streams, and increase its visibility to potential members. Join Alex Salas, ATDCFL president, and Lisa Anne Zoldi, vice president of communications, as they share their award-winning content strategies.

By the end of this session, you will be able to:

ATD Detroit, like many chapters, previously relied mainly on word-of-mouth and trial-and-error onboarding for new board members. This left a lot of holes in the information provided and left new members feeling less sure of themselves in their new leadership position than they should be. The chapter decided that a new approach—a more intentional approach—was needed. As training professionals, we could do better. A more robust, blended learning program that included self-guided learning modules, teambuilding experiences, and monthly leadership check-ins was created. We’ll also cover how ATD Detroit assesses board member interest and learning from the onboarding program and seeks to make changes to upgrade the effectiveness of the program.

Programming should be more than an event—it should be an experience. Chapters strive to create a sense of community, connect with their members, and add value to members' professional journeys. In today's digital age, it's challenging for our members to sift through the noise and identify experiences that will positively affect their careers. Through the use of social media and learning technologies, you can bring new life to your chapter's most traditional events. This session will give you a fresh perspective on ways to re-engage your members, inspire repeat attendance, and allow them to network in new ways. You'll leave the session with an action plan filled with strategies to increase attendance and engagement of your member offerings. End the transactions with your members and turn your events into experiences.

By the end of this session, you will be able to:
· Learn strategic steps to establish partnerships with local businesses and professional organizations to drive community presence
