Program

The program committee plans, coordinates and runs activities sponsored by CASCD that support the membership.

The Program Committee is composed of CASCD members who help to plan and implement these workshops and meetings. The committee meets monthly September through June and is the active force that coordinates speakers, presenters and programs.
