CWD Focus Group
Digitizing Diabetes: CWD's Online Programs
Even though the current public health circumstances have forced us to move our events to a virtual format, we'll still be offering awesome digital programs even after COVID-19 is in the rearview. Join this focus group to share your thoughts on what you'd like to see from our Screenside Chat series, our upcoming recipe and nutrition content, meet ups, and our virtual conferences! Going virtual means we're not limited by geography, so let's brainstorm new ways to use social media for our collective social good. Hosted by Kerri Sparling, Editorial Director, and Marissa Town, BSN, CDCES, Clinical Director.

CWD Focus Group
CWD & Friends for Life: The Future of Events
The possibilities for future in-person events are so exciting! Bring your ideas, your thoughts, and your creative thinking to provide insight on what we can do to serve our community and to provide more opportunities for individuals and families thriving with T1D. We want to hear from you! Is there a diabetes superstar you would like to meet in person? Have you ever wished for a specific session or activity that just hasn’t existed? If you could attend an activity or conference program session on any subject – what would it be? What would you like to do for fun in down time – or for a whole CWD weekend? What do you need and want from CWD? Hosted by Laura Billetdeaux, VP of Education & Programs, and Matthew Point, Development Manager/Young Adult Program Coordinator.
