Forty years ago, 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! To honor our anniversary, we are spending time looking back over the history of the organization, both to celebrate where we've come 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! We would love to hear your story of CBODN (clickable link)! Whether that be a memorable event, an impactful connection, or another impact from your participation, past or present. We look forward to exploring these stories and sharing them together at our Celebration Events in June.

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