CCDS Committee Opportunities

Be a Part of Something Great!

You, as a CCDS member, have an opportunity to contribute your energy, knowledge, or expertise for the betterment of our organization and our profession. Committee work provides the pulse for responding to the ever-changing issues that we face today, a chance to anticipate needs, and an opportunity to help shape our future. Plus, we'll make it easy for you to participate! In an effort to streamline, consolidate, and make better use of your time, the majority of CCDS committee meetings are virtual meetings.

It is the goal of the CCDS to provide opportunities for you to get involved in your professional organization, to keep you involved, and to respect your time so that no one has too cumbersome a job (including the president). We understand that you need the majority of your time for your practice and your family. So...with that said...please consider becoming an active member of a CCDS committee.
