Emerging Leaders Post-Conference Events
Trainees are a vital part of the AUCD network now and into the future. The AUCD Virtual Conference is a great place to begin to understand the power of the network as a personal and professional tool for growth and support. We strongly encourage any interested trainee to talk with their director or training director about the availability of financial support to attend the AUCD Virtual Conference.
Current trainees, former trainees, and early-career professionals attending the AUCD Virtual Conference are invited to attend all events on the conference agenda not marked as private, including the Plenaries, Council meetings, and Pre-/Post-Conference Meetings. At the AUCD Virtual Conference, you will receive a wealth of learning and networking experiences that can be found in few other places.
We hope to see you at the Conference!

Networking is a necessary skill for emerging leaders to expand their professional circle. Networking skills are especially needed for professional growth on platforms like LinkedIn. This workshop will teach trainees how to build relationships within the AUCD Network and beyond.
Storytelling Workshop
Date: Wednesday, December 8
Time: 4:00-5:30 PM ET
Storytelling is an empowering technique to share one's stories and deliver messages. It's often used to amplify the voices of individuals with disabilities, their families, and their allies. This strategy uses audio, images, or video to creatively engage with an audience. Workshop participants will learn and apply skills in digital storytelling to communicate their unique experiences as trainees.
