The La Crosse Area Trainers Association (LATA) formed in 1983 to provide and promote networking and skill development opportunities for area professionals affiliated with the Training and Development field. A steering committee planned programs and provided leadership for the organization. Programs and presentations sponsored by the group were designed to share knowledge regarding various aspects of employee training and development. The group disbanded in July 2002 due to low participation at meetings and difficulty in recruiting individuals to serve on the steering committee.
