The Baton Rouge Chapter of ATD provides members with a forum for the exchange of professional development opportunities and resources as they strive to improve workplace learning and performance. Our members include workforce development, performance improvement, and human resources professionals from corporate, academic, and community entities across the Greater Baton Rouge metropolitan area. The mission of the Baton Rouge Chapter of the Association for Talent Development is through exceptional learning and performance, we create a workforce that works better and a community committed to adult professional development. OUR HISTORY The first meeting to form ASTD was held in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in 1943. The association was officially established in 1944 and today, there are over 140 chapters across the United States. Beginning as the Louisiana Chapter, the Baton Rouge Chapter is proud to be recognized as the first and longest continually active chapter in existence. In 2014, the national chapter rebranded the organization to Association for Talent Development. We are an association of workplace learning and performance professionals from corporate, academic and community entities across south Louisiana.
