Alexandra D'Agostino

Sunday 4:00PM - 5:15PM EST

Advocacy All

As the CSA celebrates its 30th anniversary, leading members and supporters can look back with a satisfied sense of accomplishment. However, there is more to do. This session invites members of the stuttering community and allies from diverse roles to a roundtable where wishes and ideas for the CSA’s future can be shared and discussed. Whether you are relatively young and new to the CSA or a more seasoned member, add your voice tho this important conversation with current Board members that will help shapes and chart the future course of the CSA.

What to expect

Moderated by Alexandra and one other board member, the workshop will be an open discussion between the “CSA’s stuttering community and its board members. The board members will gain a sense of what the stuttering community wants from the CSA, and where they see the CSA going in the future, as well as what services/resources/supports the stuttering community wants from the CSA. The attendees of this workshop will hopefully leave knowing that their voices have been heard and taken into account in the CSA’s future planning.
