This session is geared towards networking opportunities among our CDS members.CDS believes it is essential to highlight the diversity that exists within the membership and cater to the unique needs of international members. The International Connections Session is a unique networking opportunity designed to promote knowledge sharing and collaboration between US-based and International members.
Various topics of interest will be highlighted, among which will include the re-establishment of the CDS International Chapter, a subcommittee of the Membership Committee dedicated to:
- Fostering exchange between local and international members.
- Furthering the development of CDS as a globally minded organization.
- Ensuring that community development is approached from a globally learned perspective by all CDS members in their respective communities.
CDS will be seeking to determine the interest of members that would like to participate in the International Chapter, creating opportunities for practitioners and researchers alike to meet virtually and assist one another with ongoing projects and challenges beyond the conference.
