About Emerging Leaders Community
Every year, AUCD welcomes thousands of Emerging Leaders to the Network that share all AUCD members’ commitment to civil rights and social justice. The Emerging Leaders Community is a space dedicated to current and past trainees from AUCD member centers and programs, early career professionals from health and related disciplines, including self-advocates and family members. This group of passionate individuals from every U.S. state and territory grows by the thousands each year. Together, this Emerging Leaders Community shares a passion to serve, research, and educate to make positive changes with and for people with disabilities and their families.
