Dear Members,
I’m so happy to welcome you to another exciting year with the North Dakota Association for Talent Development. This organization has given so much to me over the years, and I am grateful for the opportunity to give back. Like many of you, I am what you might call an “accidental” trainer—and so much of what I have learned about the field of Learning & Development has come directly from the members and chapter leaders of this amazing organization.
Our vision at ND ATD is simple but powerful: to be the highest value networking and professional development organization for learning and development in the region. We are a volunteer-led chapter, and everything we do is guided by our desire to provide the very best experiences for our members.
We are so happy you are here. You are the heart of this community, and we truly value you—your growth, your expertise, and your needs as an L&D professional.
Some of the great benefits we are proud to offer include:
- Monthly Professional Development Sessions – offered virtually for your convenience and ease of attendance.
- Peer Mentoring Groups – a chance to dive deeper into specific topics, learn from one another, and build lasting professional relationships. These groups have been a personal favorite of mine and have greatly shaped my own journey in L&D.
- In-Person and Virtual Summits – half-day events designed to inspire, teach, and connect you with colleagues in our field.
Most importantly, ND ATD is your organization. We want to hear from you—your ideas, your suggestions, and your feedback. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me or any member of our leadership team. Your voice shapes the future of our chapter, and together, we will continue to build a thriving learning community.
Thank you for being part of ND ATD. I look forward to connecting with you throughout the year!
All the best,
Sarah Johnson
President, ND ATD, 2025-2026
