Our Mission and Vision

Our vision is to empower the Florida Suncoast talent development community by becoming a chapter that shapes the future of work—not just in the Greater Tampa Bay area, but throughout the entire West Coast of Florida. 

Our 2025-2026 Mission

ATD Florida Suncoast Chapter is about more than events— we're building a community where L&D professionals come to connect and grow. Through hosting events that prioritize connection and interaction — not just content — we aim to create meaningful engagement opportunities that:

  • Build emotional connections across our chapter and broader L&D community 
  • Encourage consistent and meaningful participation in both in-person and online events 
  • Prioritize open, two-way communication between the board and members 
  • Promote peer contribution and mentorship through initiatives like our Micro Mentoring program 
  • Strengthen a sense of belonging that motivates continued involvement and professional growth
