What Is It?
The CCUIH Membership Calendar is a product of our efforts to streamline communication across the CCUIH membership and to make the CCUIH website an increasingly well-rounded resource for all of our members. Contained inside this resource are key dates related to consortium-wide and local board meetings, significant dates related to our policy advocacy efforts, as well as community events such as powwows, GONAs, and other celebrations.
The purpose of this new resource is to increase awareness of our members of one another, and increase awareness of potential opportunities for networking, enhanced cross-community participation, as well as being more conscious of the work of CCUIH staff.
If there is an event you want to include on the calendar, feel free to either submit it using the form on our Contact page or email the event details directly to us at communications@ccuih.org with the subject line: Calendar Event.
