Welcome to the Mississippi Chapter of ASTD

Welcome to the Mississippi Chapter of the American Society for Training and Development. We invite you to browse through the site for information about our Chapter and to visit with us in one of our meetings.

We're associated with the national ASTD organization through one ASTD chapter, called the Mississippi Chapter. We have four groups: the Chapter and three geographical interest groups (GIGs). The Chapter meets in Jackson, and the GIGs meet in North Mississippi, Hattiesburg, and the Gulf Coast.

If you're in the training or human resources field, or if you're interested in one of those fields, we welcome to join us at one of these location. You'll find more details about our organizations and those who would benefit from them on the About Us tab on the main menu. Please take a look.

For more information about the GIGs, their officers, and their meetings, go to the appropriate tab in the main menu. You'll find information about the Mississippi Chapter, below.

We hope you'll join one of our active groups for networking and professional development. You won't regret it.
