Welcome to the IACD Membership Blog!

This is place where you can see what our members are doing, studying, teaching, learning, and experiencing. We encourage all of our members to share with us anything they are doing in the field of community development.

You can get creative! Tell us about a volunteering experience you had, or a class you took. You could write a poem, show us a photo essay, or even share news with us about a conference you’ve attended.

To participate in the Membership Blog, please send you material to: membership@iacdglobal.org and indicate if you are happy for IACD to share your email address on the blog. That way, if you read a blog and you want to learn more about the topic, you have the chance to directly email your fellow IACD member.
