Trainer’s Institute (TI) is Omaha's premier four-part learning series for anyone ready to grow in the talent development field — whether you're just starting out or leveling up a seasoned skillset.
Each session dives deep into a core area of the craft: Instructional Design, Training Delivery, Evaluating Impact, and Learning Technologies — giving you the tools, connections, and confidence to rise in your practice and bring others with you.
Sessions are facilitated live and in-person, making every experience as dynamic as the learning itself.

Several ATD Nebraska chapter leaders recently attended the ATD Chapter Leaders Conference (ALC) in Los Angeles, California, on May 15-16, 2026.
We are especially proud that our own Kristina Pohlman served on the event's Program Advisory Committee (ALC PAC), helping shape the conference experience for chapter leaders nationwide.
ATD Nebraska was also well represented among the conference presenters:
- Gina Epperson – From Volunteer Burnout to Board Impact: Systems and Automation That Helped Our Chapter Achieve 170% Growth
- Kathy Headley – No Finance Degree Required: Financial Literacy for Board Members
- Sunni Wiltse & Stephanie Blakemore – The 3-D Framework: Controllable Actions That Expand Your Chapter's Reach
- Former Past President Kristi Stewart – No Crystal Ball Needed: Turning Chapter Metrics into Strategic Growth & Engagement
Throughout the conference, our leaders actively shared ATD Nebraska's successes while learning from the experiences and innovations of chapters from across the United States.
