Chapter Champions
We are so thankful our ATD Maryland Chapter Champions. A Chapter Champion is a ATD Power Member that does not serve in an official board capacity but helps to support the chapter and our community initiatives.
Richard Blackman (MBA University of Maryland), an ATD Md. Power Member, and supports our new member campaigns, ATD Maryland "Unofficial" Facebook Group, has been involved with ATD/ASTD for over 10 years. It was a session by Master Trainer, Bob Pike that got him hooked on the organization.

He trained over 3,000 federal employees in a multi-media program on federal budgeting. He conducted training on Presentation Skills, Interview Skills, Keys to Success, Resume Writing, Career Development and other topics and continues to do that on a volunteer basis.
