OneVoice

What is OneVoice?

OneVoice is the aligned relationship between national ASTD and chapters. Increased resources from ASTD support this alignment. Our shared vision is that ASTD is a partnership through which national and chapters collaborate to meet the needs of the profession and impact organizational results through clarified roles, responsibilities, accountabilities, alignment of strategies, and consistency of messages to provide active, mutual support, and resources.

OneVoice is a partnership

The goal of OneVoice is to create partnerships between the national organization and the chapters to advance the profession as one. Our strategy is to build a strong and healthy society that consistently delivers valued offerings that serve our members and the profession—and ultimately helps organizations prosper.

Together, ASTD and chapters help to create the future of the profession.
