In the Fall of 1984, the National OD Network held their annual conference in Washington DC. Building on that gathering, and acknowledging the momentum for a regional network based in the Washington DC, VA, & MD area, CBODN was born!
Last year, we celebrated our anniversary by spending time looking back over the history of the organization, both to celebrate where we came from and to continue building our future.
So much of our history has been shaped by members, volunteers, and other skilled professionals who have left their impact. In other words, YOU! Thank you for being part of our community!

From this humble beginning, these organizers created the foundation for the organization that is today!
