President's Update - Opportunities Abound for CDS Members
By Gisele Hamm
It has been a busy month for Community Development Society Board and committee members! CDS is certainly fortunate to have such an outstanding group of leaders working to ensure an enriching membership experience for us all.Whitney McIntyre Miller has taken the lead on coordinating the new "CDS Interest Groups" which will give us all an excellent opportunity to network with and learn from other researchers and practitioners. If you are a new member or perhaps have been a member for awhile but wish to get more engaged, this is a great way for you to get to know other CDS members, get more involved with the Society, and increase your level of knowledge in the community development field. Many CDS members have already signed up to participate in one or more of the groups, but if you haven't yet, Whitney has provided information in this month's Vanguard on how you can sign up.It's that time of year again when we solicit nominations for available Board of Directors positions...

CDS Website Launches New Social Networking Tools
By Stephen Jeanetta
Over the past 18 months there have been lots of changes to the CDS website. Most of them are changes you may not notice unless you use the site regularly but some of the more recent changes are pretty big. If you go to menu bar at the top of the front page of the website you will notice three communication tools that have their own tabs (CDS Connect, CDS Discuss, and CDS Blog). Two of the three (CDS Connect and CDS Discuss) are brand new and the CDS Blog has been substantially changed over the past 18 months. CDS Discuss is a new feature that we hope to use to engage in discussions across the organization around key issues affecting the field of community development or issues important to the organization itself...The third item "CDS Connect" is a tool we are really excited about and are launching right now. CDS Connect is a "members only" social networking site that provides a simple and easily accessible way to connect with friends and colleagues around the things you care about most in your community development work.To get started go to theCDS Website...

CDS Interest Groups: Connect, Share, and Engage!
ByWhitney McIntyre Miller
As those of you who were in attendance at the Lexington, KY conference know, this year the Community Development Society is rolling out interests groups- opportunities for you to connect, share, and engage with community development practitioners, scholars, and students sharing your unique interests. Through our work with the board, and suggestions from CDS members, we have created 16 interest groups that hopefully will inspire you to connect and engage with your CDS colleagues. These groups are the groups:Arts in Community Development,Community Development Education,Community Leadership,Economic Development in Community Development,Health and Community Development,International Community Development,Planning and Evaluation,Rural Community Development,Community Development Scholarship and Research,Sustainable and Community Development,Urban Community Development,Indigenous People in Community Development,Broadband Communications and Community Development,Food and Nutrition in Community Development,Radical Approaches to Community Development, andYouth in Community Development.
Each group has its own community space on our all newCDS Connect website.Simply use your CDS login credentials to enter into the CDS Connect space. Once you are logged in your profile page appears on the screen. If you have not done so already, we encourage you to add a picture and some information about yourself so that other CDS members can get to know you. Under the long blue bar at the top of your screen you will see the word Groups. Clicking on the wordGroupstakes you to our Interest Groups page. On the left hand side you will see a list of all of our interest groups. Simply click on the one you want to join and then click the "Join This Group" button on the far right after the interest group page loads. Now you are in! Join as many (or as few) groups as you want! The process is fast and easy!...
