The Council on Conferences and Faculty Development (CCFD) is the volunteer body responsible for making policy and programming recommendations to CSWE leadership related to CSWE's Annual Conference and other faculty development programs at CSWE. CCFD is a part of the Commission on Membership and Professional Development.

Annual Conference Tracks

Conference presentations are organized by tracks, allowing meeting participants to quickly locate and gauge their interest in specific sessions. Each track is led by two volunteer chairs who review scores and comments submitted by proposal reviewers and provide recommendations regarding acceptance to CSWE. Track chairs and co-chairs may help answer questions related to the tracks’ subject areas.
