Get ready—it's back-to-school season! And it's not just for the kids. Whether or not you have students at home or are a student yourself, we're all adjusting to the back-to-school routine, including dealing with that inevitable traffic. While that part might not be the most fun, the bright side is holding onto the summer memories and lessons we've gained, which we can reflect on and carry with us as we embrace the fresh starts ahead.

It has been a wonderful year of learning for me. I can't believe it's almost time to pass the baton to our incoming 2025 Board. Please come share in this moment and meet our chapter's new leadership team at our upcoming ATD Houston Talent Development conference.  If you haven't registered for the event, we hope you will join us!  ATD Houston 2024 Talent Development Conference and Expo

I'm also proud that ATD Houston has partnered with the United Way of Greater Houston in a fundraising campaign for the THRIVE Program as part of our annual conference. This partnership enables the United Way to continue providing crucial resources to help individuals in our community achieve a sustainable quality of living. Your support of this campaign furthers our shared goal of empowering individuals to thrive. Learn more and please consider supporting these efforts. The United Way of Greater Houston

Remember, inspiration can come from so many places. We invite you to be part of an inspiring moment. Join us at an upcoming event, get involved with our chapter, meet new friends and colleagues, or become a mentor. Whatever capacity you choose to participate in, thank you for being part of our Talent Development Community. We look forward to finishing the year strong as we continue to "Grow Together!"

With Kindness,
