Dear ATD Rocky Mountain Chapter Members,

As we step into 2025, I am thrilled and honored to serve as your ATD Rocky Mountain Chapter President. Our chapter has a rich history of empowering talent development professionals like you to grow, connect, and make an impact—and I am excited to build on that legacy together.

For those who may not know me, my name is Alyssa Willet, and I’ve been a proud ATD member since 2021. I’ve spent over a decade in the talent development field as a certified Gallup CliftonStrengths® coach, Certified Professional Coach, and leadership trainer. My journey in this field began with a spark—training 400 employees on CliftonStrengths—and it’s led me here, to this incredible community of passionate professionals.

This year, our vision for the chapter is centered on growth, connection, and belonging:

• Professional Development: We are committed to offering impactful learning opportunities to help you stay ahead in this evolving field. From workshops to networking events, we’re here to help you grow.
• Building Connections: Networking and mentorship are at the heart of our chapter. In 2025, we’ll be expanding programs to foster meaningful relationships and create opportunities for collaboration.
• Create Belonging: Our goal is to ensure that everyone in our chapter feels seen, valued, and supported. We’re creating spaces where every voice matters, and every member has the opportunity to contribute and thrive.

We can’t do this without YOU. Whether you’re new to the chapter or a longtime member, your energy, ideas, and participation are what make this community so special. I invite you to join us at our upcoming events, connect with fellow members, and take full advantage of everything our chapter has to offer.

You can stay connected with us by: 

• Making sure you are signed up for our bi-weekly newsletter. 

• Connect with us and follow us on our LinkedIn page. Even better, share our posts and invite other talent development colleagues to join. 

• Register for events early and bring a friend!

• Share with us about your talent development experience and be featured in a member spotlight. 

• Volunteer on our programs committee or conference committee!

• Reach out to me at president@atdrmc.org with your ideas and questions. And of course, feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn!

I also want to acknowledge the incredible work of our 2024 Board of Directors. Their leadership has been instrumental in strengthening our chapter, and I am grateful for the foundation they’ve built. We have had exceptional growth in our membership this year and the work they did set us up to achieve our 2025 goals! Thank you for your time and dedication. 

I’m equally excited to collaborate with the 2025 Board of Directors, a group of talented and dedicated leaders who are passionate about making this year extraordinary for our members.

I look forward to seeing you at our events, hearing your stories, and working together to elevate talent development in the Rocky Mountain region.

Here’s to a fantastic year ahead!

Warmly,

Alyssa Willet. M.Ed.
