AUCD, Annual Conference Cancelled

 

Dear AUCD Network members,  The AUCD 2025 Conference Committee, the AUCD Board of Directors, and the leadership team at the AUCD have made the difficult decision not to hold an annual Conference this fall. This decision was made due to uncertainty in federal funding, and expenditure restrictions across universities, and limited organizational capacity. While AUCD will not hold a virtual or in-person Conference this year, we will have virtual opportunities for network members to connect. It is our priority that researchers, practitioners, professionals, policymakers, trainees, and advocates can come together to advance our collective mission. AUCD will provide interactive opportunities for networking, collaboration, and knowledge sharing for members later this year. We will also make sure to hold a business meeting/annual meeting for all network members in late fall. The AUCD Network is resilient, and together, we will continue to build a strong, healthier future that ensures all people can participate fully in their communities across the lifespan. Sincerely,  Sandy Root-Elledge, MA AUCD Interim Executive Director Rhonda Eppelsheimer, MSW AUCD President Elect and AUCD 2025 Conference Chair  Co-Director, Institute on Development and Disability (UCEDD), Oregon Health & Science University  Download a PDF version of this message.
