It is with great sadness we share that our staff at the University of Central Arkansas Community Development Institute (CDI) has decided to cancel CDI 2020. With steadily rising cases of COVID-19 in the state and the designation of Arkansas as a national hotspot, we feel for the safety of our participants, speakers, and staff that the only path forward is to cancel.
The Community Development Institute is one of the most impactful, unique community and economic development training programs in the Mid-South because of our high-quality curriculum and speakers, focus on interactivity and simulations, and networking opportunities. Because of this, CDI does not lend itself to a virtual format. Due to the strenuous planning that goes into developing CDI and the continued rise in COVID-19 projections in the coming months, we also do not plan to reschedule CDI 2020.
We hope you will plan to join us for CDI 2021 on August 2 – 6, 2021!
