Former Trainees are a part of the AUCD Emerging Leaders Community and can use their knowledge and skills to benefit the AUCD network and broader disability field in many ways. At AUCD, we never stop supporting Emerging Leaders, no matter where they are in their careers and/or leadership journeys. We are currently in the process of brainstorming ideas and activities to ensure that alumni are connected to resources, opportunities, and each other.

As with any Emerging Leaders Community project, your input and participation are essential! Please e-mail Mollie Blafer at [email protected] to learn about opportunities to get involved in alumni outreach efforts.

If you recently completed your traineeship, be sure to check out the Module 3: Grow of the Trainee Orientation Modules to learn about resources that may help you take next steps.
