Hunter Haines has been a friend of ATD for many years. She is a past president of ATD Maryland, holds the Certified Professional in Learning and Performance credential, and often volunteers with ATD to work on the CPLP assessment process.

Like most talent development professionals, Hunter wears many hats. She is an organization development and inclusion consultant at the University of Maryland Medical System and the founder and president of People Leading People, a leadership coaching and consulting company. In these roles, Hunter specializes in developing leaders to engage employees and drive business results. When she’s not facilitating a leadership development workshop, Hunter can be found working with teams and coaching leaders at all levels. She is also a mentor coach at the Maryland University of Integrative Health.

Hunter believes that all employees can be fulfilled in their work roles and that leaders have a responsibility to help make that happen. This drives her desire to help leaders be as effective and accountable as possible.
