CoDA Service Conference Summary For 2023
Good afternoon, Fellowship:
Sorry for the delay in getting the CoDA Service Conference recap out to you. The new Board is a bit behind schedule however, we are happy to be serving you.
Let us know how we can better serve your needs!
This year was our third hybrid (virtual and in person) Conference (CSC), and it was a great experience. We had Delegates from all over the world involved, and it was nice to have a room full of participants.
The Events Committee did an amazing job planning and supporting the CoDA Service Conference, and the International CoDA Convention. We appreciate all their hard work and service.
2024 will be in Ottawa, Canada. If you do not have a passport, start working on it now. The dates are July 21, 2024, to 25th for the CSC, and July 26-28th for the ICC.
We cannot wait to be together again doing the business of the Fellowship.
