Member-Only Site Expanded and Upgraded!

The ICDD Members Only website, first introduced in 2006 with content linked to educational resources, has been expanded and updated.

Features Include:

• The NEW 2007 Directory
• Listing of New Members and Student Affiliates
• New rosters and memberships of the Technical Subcommittees
• Membership guides
• Dates of future annual meetings and board meetings

Updated Member Information
Since our last membership directory in 2004, we have added several new members and many other members have submitted changes in either their business address or email addresses.

The 2007 Directory contains updated addresses of all ICDD members. Technical subcommittees have also been changed and the changes are now listed by committee and subcommittee in the 2007 Directory and by member name in the membership listing of the Technical Subcommittees.

Please check your personal directory listing and technical subcommittee membership listing for accuracy. Corrections can be sent to Linda Shertz , Executive Secretary and Quality Records Administrator at shertz@icdd.com.

The NEW 2007 Directory
We have transitioned the membership directory from a paper product to an electronic pdf file. The information in the new membership directory has been substantially upgraded since our last directory in 2004. The directory also includes information about the ICDD's current grantees, articles of incorporation, staff directory and bylaws.

Committee Postings
As a nonprofit organization, ICDD strives to have transparency in all its business, technical and financial operations. One aspect of "transparency" is that there are hundreds of web pages associated with the websites, icdd.com and dxcicdd.com, that have open access content.

However, there is an occasional need for privacy even in a transparent organization. Examples would includes nominations for awards, CV's submitted for consideration for scholarships, membership or board nominations. The committee posting area is reserved for any member, committee or subcommittee to post member only information. A general posting will be viewed only by ICDD members. The ICDD can also set up a second level password to limit a posting to a task team, committee or subcommittee of the ICDD, if required by the group chairman.

Please keep this information in a safe place for your records and future access.
