Talent Development Book Club
Our partnership with the Professional Book Club Guru allows our chapter to partner with more than 40 other ATD Chapters creating an online book club for talent development professionals around the country. This group is connected exclusively online via an online forum to discuss books related to talent development, training, organizational development and much more. This online book club is an opportunity to connect talent and development professionals by reading relevant books together. The group is a partnership between dozens of ATD Chapters and other L&D organizations. The book club will connect through a private online forum where all participants can discuss the current book and network with each other. The online forum is active 24/7 so people can join the conversation from anywhere in the world and at whatever time is convenient for them. Joining is completely free, you just have to get a copy of the book to enjoy. The group will read a new book every two to three months so that you'll have plenty of time for each book.

- Read interesting books related to Talent Development
