Hayward Suggs 

I desire to partner with the incoming President, Eileen Terrell, and the full board to expand the reach and presence of ATDChi. My plan is to align with Ms. Terrell and team, to strategically identify opportunities for potential growth, add velocity to the contributions and rewards of existing members, and work smartly and inclusively to add new members. This terrific organization is already experiencing massive success. My name is Hayward Suggs, and I am honored to have the opportunity to take it even further.

Kristin Walker

I have over 10 years in the training and development profession helping people improve their operational and leadership skills. My experience includes retail, quick service restaurants and manufacturing. Being able to communicate effectively at all levels of the organization is something I take pride in. If elected to this position I would like to continue to help communicate our mission and vision to our members. Increasing membership is always one of our top priorities as a chapter so I would like to continue to leverage the collaboration between the communication and marketing teams to achieve this goal.

Ensuring our members have clear and concise chapter information is a top goal and I would like to help the communication team utilize various methods of technology to achieve this goal. I also would like to continue to grow our speaking presence at local universities to help promote the training and development profession as well as provide support to those embarking on their training and development career.

Adrianne Kelly

I graduated from the University of Iowa with a BBA in Management and Marketing. From there, I worked in a number of different positions in retail, sales, supply chain, finance, and now Talent Development for the last 4 years. I am currently pursuing my Masters of Organizational Leadership at Colorado State University--Global Campus.

I believe I would bring level of energy to the position as well as a thought process of fewer-bigger-better: The most value-added initiatives/events with the greatest level of impact.

Cathy Hosek

I would like to make ATDChi even better than it already is by contributing as Vice Present – Programming. A graduate of the 2014 WLPI Institute, I gained so much valuable knowledge about aspects of the learning field I do work in, as well as those I have not yet experienced. My colleagues have had substantially better learning experiences as a direct result of what I learned at WLPI. Now is my time to return the favor by giving back.

What’s in it for you?

Having attended the past four ATD National TechKnowledge conferences, I experienced a number of excellent topics and speakers, and would like to work to represent some of those subjects and speakers if possible. You obviously have some great ideas of your own. I welcome the opportunity to meet you, learn of your suggestions and go out and track down your speakers and program ideas.

I am an enthusiastic, tenacious hard worker who loves finding a great solution to a challenge. I will do whatever it takes to deliver to you a worthwhile, educational, informational and fun line-up of programs.

What’s In It For Me?

As the one-person technology training team at the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, I stand to benefit from interacting with all of you, hear about what you are doing, how you are doing it, what challenges you are facing, and what you are doing to overcome those challenges. You will get me out of my vacuum/silo, so I can see what the rest of you are doing to make the world a better-educated place!
