About Our Members
Members of the ABCD Institute Network are both community and organizational practitioners as well as organizational partners. The membership network is broad and international and designed to be open to any practitioner who wants to be in community with other strengths-based practitioners. Members share their gifts, assets, and talents with others via online forums, member organized events and helping to run the institute.
