President's Update - Elections and nominations deadlines coming soon!
By Gisele Hamm
This morning I had the opportunity to do my civic duty and vote in the US Presidential Primary Election. As a member of the Community Development Society, you also have a duty to vote for your Society's leadership. While certainly not as important as a country's presidential election, the CDS election process is key to ensuring we have an effective board of directors that represents our membership. On February 29th, CDS members received an email, "2016 CDS Annual Election Information" which provided voting instructions for the annual board election. If you have not yet voted and misplaced or deleted the email, please watch your email inbox for a followup reminder email and take a few moments to vote. We are fortunate to have an excellent slate of candidates to choose from. The deadline to cast your vote is May 1st!....

CDS News
So, you want to be in Vanguard?
By Cindy Banyai
Vanguard is here for you! That's right, you, the members of the Community Development Society. This publication is your regular update to what is happening within in our organization (like conference deadlines and election information) and what is happening more broadly in our shared community of practice (position announcements, publications). However, this publication can only serve you, if YOU share with us these important pieces of information.
So, you want your information in Vanguard? Here are some tips to make sure your article, posting, or announcement get in!
Post to the CDS Blog- As a CDS member you can post any piece of information related to your work on our blog. This includes job openings, new placements in your organization, new publications you've released, other conferences you are involved with, musings on your areas of practice -- really pretty much anything! Use this space to connect with your fellow members. As Vanguard Editor, this is my first stop for content.
Contribute to CDS Connect- Like the CDS Blog, this is your place to share and share alike -- it's a membership benefit, take advantage! Join an affinity group discussion and post job vacancies, and don't forget to complete your profile so you can continue to connect with like-minded professionals. This is another place I can easily source content for Vanguard.
Post to theCommunity Development Society Facebook PageorGroup- This is an especially great place to share interesting articles and resources, as well as photos, videos, and related memes. I often check here to source material the section CD Resources.
Tag@CommDevSocon Twitter - Like our Facebook pages, I check here CD Resources.
DO post yourself - If you have an important announcement to share, please post it in one of these easy -to-find locations. Emailing pdfs or other documents to myself the CDS office makes putting together the Vanguard challenging and all too easy for us to miss YOUR very important message.
