Returning to a new normal – we want to hear from you!

Our committee members, ELG representatives, and TCDIP event attendees are the heart of TCDIP. Without you, our community wouldn’t be what it is today. We want to know how you’re feeling about returning to in-person events. Please take our short survey and share with others in the TCDIP community as we start to plan for this summer and beyond. Survey entries will be entered into a drawing to win one of four $25 Target gift cards!
