A Message from the President-Elect
I
am so excited to write to you as your President-Elect for 2016. I am
honored to have this position and look forward to an incredible 2017! As
your President-Elect I have vowed to learn all I can from our current
President and Past President. I am blessed to have two amazing women to
learn from as well as many other Past Presidents that are still involved in our
chapter that I can ask my questions to.
My involvement with ATDBR on a national and local level began in 2005. I was
asked to be a program manager in 2012 and assisted with volunteering at our
Professional Development event that year. After becoming a program manager,
I was asked to be on the board in 2013. I have served in various positions on the
board, VP of Programs, VP of Membership, and now President-Elect. This is such
an exciting time to lead the chapter since we are expanding our membership base, working on ways to increase our
membership value, and continuing to diversify and expand our Talent Development efforts in Baton Rouge.
So far this year, I have had the privilege of meeting and talking with quite a few of our members and our guests who
have actually become members at our monthly meetings and mixer. I also have had the opportunity to learn the
various ATDBR leadership roles and responsibilities of our current board members. I have worked to create the 2017
Nominations Committee and have been working on providing program managers and other volunteers to our
current board members. I look forward to continuing meeting and visiting with you all at our membership meetings.
If you are interested in a more active role in ATDBR by participating on one of our committees or as a program
manager in 2017 please do not hesitate to contact me. Also, board nominations are currently open on our website,
http://atdbatonrouge.org/nominations. During the month of July, the Nominations Committee will present the
proposed board of directors to our membership who will vote to finalize the 2017 board in August.
I look forward to assisting with our chapters’ growth and enriching your membership in ATDBR.
Yours in Service,
Regina Leingang Ph.D., MPA, SPHR, SHRM-SCP
2016 President-Elect, ATD Baton Rouge Chapter

Member Spotlight
What brought you to the field of
Talent Development?
I was with the international
management
consulting
firm,
McKinsey & Company, and had
worked in knowledge management
for the Strategy Practice for a
number of years, setting up systems
and databases, running a phone line
to connect our consultants with the
knowledge they needed, organizing
conferences, etc., and then the Firm
made the step to develop a
capability-building function in each
of the practices to ensure that our
consultants are up to date with the
most
cutting-edge
techniques
available to serve their clients. I
raised my hand to volunteer to help
and the next thing I knew I was
responsible for the Strategy Practice
Learning Team.
What are your strengths that make
this field a good fit for you?
I have always loved being part of
helping people develop their full
potential. I did quite a bit of this in my
knowledge management role. In the
learning development role, I enjoyed the
creativity involved in coming up with
just the right learning modality to help
people have those ‘a ha’ moments. We
would do things like assigning a
learning case in as part of an in-person
program and then giving each team the
opportunity to spend a half-hour by
phone with one of our internal experts
to further their knowledge of the case
content. This helped them understand
the value of tapping into our internal
resources – something that many of our
consultants rarely did in the course of
their work.
I did find the work difficult, however.
Business strategy is an especially tough
area for learning development because
even the most innovative strategy can
look obvious in hindsight so people have
trouble appreciating how hard it can be
to make good strategic choices in the
face of an uncertain future.
How long have you been involved in
Talent Development?
I was in my talent development role at
McKinsey for ten years. I left the Firm
at the end of last year and have
enjoyed having a little time off, but am
