Community Partners are mission-aligned organizations — fellow 501(c)(3) nonprofits and like-minded professional communities — that ATD Chicagoland supports through reciprocal, in-kind collaboration. These are not sponsorships. We exchange visibility, cross-promote events, and show up for one another’s work because we share a commitment to learning, connection, and stronger workplaces across the region.
HR HotSeat is an inclusive mastermind community of real HR professionals solving real HR problems. The community is built around helping HR pros grow, build, innovate, achieve, and serve through meaningful peer connection and shared problem-solving.
Founded by Erich Kurschat, HR HotSeat creates space for HR practitioners and people-focused professionals to connect around the challenges and opportunities shaping better workplaces.
