Call for Community of Practice Co-Facilitator: Research Community of Practice

The DEC Research Community of Practice (CoP) is recruiting a new co-facilitator to assist existing facilitator, Jessica Amsbary, in her duties beginning in January 2025. This is an opportunity for existing Research CoP members to level up their leadership and help ensure the sustainability of the CoP through future leadership transitions. 

Members representative of the diversity of DEC membership are encouraged to apply, including race, ethnicity, culture, language, dialect, age, ability, gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, religion/spirituality, and national origin. We seek representation of geography, organizations, agencies, universities, and experience. We seek members representing all member categories (practitioners, family members, higher education faculty, etc.). Applicants should be/become knowledgeable about the DEC Mission, Vision, Policies, and Racial Equity Point of View. Co-Facilitators will be required to be current DEC members or to join DEC if they have not already. 

Please complete this form to indicate your interest in co-facilitating the Research CoP by Friday, January 17th, 2024, 11:59 PM Eastern Time. The selected co-facilitator will be contacted after the existing facilitators have an opportunity to review applications with the DEC CoP Development Committee and the Executive Office. The selected CoP co-facilitator can anticipate a start date in their new role in January or February of 2025. 

Are you interested in becoming a Research CoP Co-Facilitator, but have some questions before applying? We have scheduled a 30-minute Q&A to answer any questions that you may have about the role and responsibilities.
