Members Assembly
Considering the recent governance changes within IASSIDD, we happy to announce an innovative approach to our Members Assemblies. Recognizing the importance of inclusivity and accessibility, we are transitioning these assemblies into online events, ensuring that all members can participate, regardless of their ability to attend Congresses in person.
Assemblies will be held in September 2024. Please look out for the invitations that will be sent in July.
By harnessing the power of digital technology, we aim to create a platform that transcends geographical boundaries and time zones, allowing members from around the globe to engage in meaningful dialogue and decision-making processes. To further enhance accessibility, we will host multiple sessions of the “same” assembly at different times, strategically spread across various time zones to accommodate the diverse needs of our membership base.
This strategic approach not only maximizes participation but also fosters a more inclusive and representative decision-making process. These online assemblies represent a pivotal step forward in our journey towards a more equitable and participatory governance structure. Together, let us embrace the opportunities afforded by digital connectivity to strengthen our community, amplify diverse perspectives, and drive positive change for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities worldwide.
We are happy to announce our new LinkedIn Page!
