At our December event, members came together to create Vision Boards—a creative representation of our goals, dreams, and aspirations. Among the boards shared that day was one by Kim Khue-Chieffo, who is preparing to take on the mantle of Chapter President. Her Vision Board offered more than personal goals; it painted an inspiring perspective for ATD Orange County’s future. Rooted in the principles of connection, investment, and growth, her vision centers on fostering a vibrant community, advancing professional learning, and collaborating to solve real-world challenges. Here’s how she envisions the road ahead:
“I envision our rooms to be filled with professionals from all areas of the talent development field. We are learning from one another, building each other up,” says Kim.
This vision emphasizes inclusivity—a space where members from diverse professional backgrounds form meaningful connections that propel both personal and career growth. ATDOC seeks to support professionals navigating transitions or pursuing new aspirations by providing the tools, relationships, and networks necessary to thrive in today’s dynamic environment.
Kim takes pride in her contribution to ATDOC’s legacy of leadership development. “We’re committed to creating opportunities for professionals at all levels and stages of their careers, and fostering a sense of community for all professionals who wish to further develop professionally and personally.”
This commitment extends beyond our monthly learning events and workshops. ATDOC itself functions as a dynamic learning organization, offering members opportunities to develop skills by taking on leadership roles, participating in events, or collaborating on initiatives. The Chapter remains aligned with members’ needs, ensuring timely and relevant learning experiences that support personal and professional success.
“We have so much talent in our community to solve any business problems,” Kim states. “Our goal is to expand work experiences and keep our reputation in the business community as trusted solution providers.”
As organizations grapple with the evolving workplace, ATDOC is stepping up to bridge the gap. By connecting with experts to integrate technologies like AI into L&D practices, the Chapter positions itself as a hub for innovative problem-solving. By leveraging the collective expertise of its members, ATDOC strengthens its community while delivering tangible value to businesses across industries.
Kim Khue-Chieffo’s vision for ATD Orange County—rooted in connection, investment, and growth—is both a roadmap and an invitation. As she reflects, “The best gift of serving on the Board is the connection to experienced leaders from National and other chapters. It’s humbling and rewarding to contribute to our Chapter’s goal of continuous leadership development.”
