The Association of University Centers on Disability (AUCD) & The Center for Leadership in Disability (CLD) are proud to present the 8th Annual AUCD Leadership Academy!

The AUCD Leadership Academy is a week-long intensive experience, paired with a year of pre and post interactions designed to enhance the skills of current and emerging leaders from disability networks to build coalitions to improve systems of supports and services.
