Greetings from ABCD inAction!

ABCD in Action is your community. It's the easiest way to connect with people who are putting ABCD into practice around the world. Because we are more than just an online resource page, we depend on the more than 1100 members from around the world to ask each other questions, engage in discussions, share ideas, and support each other. Members come from all walks of life and range from "newbies" (just heard about ABCD today!) to the people who live and breathe ABCD principles.

In the upcoming months, we'll be sharing information with you about how you can participate more on ABCD in Action. If you have any questions, feel free to contact a member of the ABCD in Action Stewardship Team - They're listed in the right-hand column of the website.
