Conference Registration
Thank you for getting ready to register! Our generous sponsors have enabled discounts for students, AmeriCorps volunteers, grassroots organization representatives, and retirees. All registrations for non-Members include a year membership in CDS. And, just to be clear on what registration includes beyond an amazing professional development and networking opportunity, this is a warmly hosted conference experience! The meals and hosted receptions (small bites, local wine and/or craft beer, and other beverages) include:
- July 16: Welcoming Reception
- July 17: Boxed lunch and Community Reception (at OMSI)
- July 18: Luncheon and Awards Banquet
- July 19: Luncheon and CDS Annual Business Meeting
To accommodate these needs, we have organized registration in four possible steps. Remember to return to this landing page for each step. (This page will remain open in your browser.)
