Our chapter's request to rebrand ourselves as "ATD Appalachia" from "ATD West Virginia" was approved by the ATD national board. This change reflects our regional nature while staying true to our 50+ year heritage. West Virginia is the only state that is entirely located in the Appalachian Mountains. However, our membership has long since grown beyond the boundaries of the Mountain State into Appalachian Maryland and Appalachian Virginia. We are proud to serve the entire region of Central Appalachia and look forward to the next 50 years!
