 Chapter History

The ATD Central Florida Chapter (ATDCFL) (formerly the Central Florida Chapter of the American Society of Training and Development, CFC-ASTD) was founded in 1979 and chartered in 1982 and has grown to be the largest and most influential organization serving learning professionals in Central Florida. Members represent companies ranging from small consulting firms to large corporations, and their businesses range from government agencies to tourism. The members’ scope of workplace responsibility varies, including learning and performance, organizational development, and human resources.

 President's Message


Dear ATD Central Florida Members,

I am honored and feel privileged to assume the role of President of the ATD Central Florida chapter (2020-2023). I am deeply grateful to my predecessors for their leadership and outstanding contributions to the chapter during their presidency, and all the members of the Executive Board.

I look forward to continuing this important work towards fulfilling the mission of ATD Central Florida by providing workplace learning and performance programming to our Central Florida community. We will continue striving to INFORM, INVOLVE, and INSPIRE workplace learning and performance professionals of Central Florida and beyond.

Thank you!

Yours sincerely,
