Trainee Network Awareness Objective: Establish collaborative relationships and share resources across network. Theme: Personnel and Trainees

Ensure that UCEDD/LEND trainees are aware of nearby UCEDD/LEND programs, the AUCD network and trainee community, and the AUCD conferences. Encourage collaboration within the Network. Have an orientation session for new staff, faculty, others at conferences; include key leaders. An active process of welcoming is the difference between physical presence and feeling at home.
